Our coordinating glasses case and nail scissors holder are made from small pieces of felt and fabric that could be easily found in your remnants box. We have used recycled scraps of woollen jumpers, but for a special gift why not splash out on pure wool felt for added luxury? Machine embroidered flowers decorated with sequins and seed beads add a little flourish, but if you’re not confident at machine embroidery, a similar effect can be achieved by hand.
Sew a glasses case
1 Download the templates, print and cut out. Pin the glasses case template to thick felt and cut out one piece. Reverse and cut another from green printed fabric. Cut small squares of dark orange, orange, yellow and green woollen fabrics and iron fusible webbing onto the back of each.
2 Trace the spiky flower motif onto dark red woollen fabric, the two oval motifs onto orange and yellow and the stem onto green. Cut each of the shapes out using embroidery scissors.
3 Peel the backing paper off the stem and arrange on the right-hand side of the green base fabric. Press under a cloth to fix and stitch using green thread. Repeat with the spiky flower and position just above the stem. Iron to fix. Machine stitch in an oval pattern using straight stitch and red thread.
