1 Cut 24cm x 53cmof moustache print with the design running across the length, and snip it in half widthways. Pin them right sides together across the bottom short edge and stitch using a 1cm seam. Press the seam open, then fold in half along the seam to create a front and back.
2 Cut a 5.5cm x 24cm strip of multicoloured chevron print. Fold each long side in by 1cm and iron to crease. Pin this across the front piece of the case, 5cm from the bottom and stitch along both edges.
3 Download and print the template, then use to cut a moustache from spotty fabric and a pair of glasses from black cotton. Snip 12cm x 14.5cm from yellow chevron print and back all three with interfacing. Fold the top short edge of the fabric rectangle over twice by 5mm and stitch the seam across. Place the shapes on the pocket and appliqué using a narrow zigzag stitch.
4 Trace ‘Dapper’ onto tissue paper and pin just below the appliqué. Machine or hand stitch. Remove the tissue and iron on the reverse. Fold the two sides and bottom edge of the pocket over to the wrong side by 5mm and pin to the front of the case, 3cm from the left and bottom seams. Stitch down the sides and base, then press.
