Giving a sentimental gift to your dad on Father’s Day will become a treasured keepsake for years to come. There’s no better way to let him know you care than by making him a personal gift with your own fair hands. A stitched glasses case is a thoughtful yet practical present and Louise Nichols’ design uses a number of techniques including machine appliqué and embroidery.
Sew a glasses case
Cut brown fabric, blue lining, fusible interfacing and wadding, all measuring 11cm x 42cm. Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the main fabric.
Draw two rectangles measuring 7cm x 11cm and 9cm x 11cm onto fusible webbing. Iron them onto checked fabric and cut out. Iron the 7cm x 11cm rectangle onto one end of main fabric on the right side, then measure down 12.5cm and iron on the other rectangle. Using brown thread and a wide zig zag stitch, machine across all 11cm edges of the checked fabric apart from the end one.
