Just what I was looking for. A friend gave me a lot of quilted Christmas fabric and ask if I would make hot pads for her homeless folks she works with. I told her that fabric would not be good for hot pads because of the polyester batting but I would make eyeglass cases. This is perfect. Thanks so much. Ginny Johnson

I love your videos. As someone who is still fairly new to sewing I find your tutorials much easier to follow than a most of the ones I’ve seen on youtube. I think that people who know how to sew forget that some of the materials, tools, and terms they frequently use are foreign to us newbies. So thank you for making quick, easy, projects that come out beautiful because of your clear, concise instructions.

for simplicity, you can sew the loop on without that type of caribiner clip then put it on later, so it doesn't get in the way of your presser foot. With some other types, you could attach with a split ring, which could be placed later as well.

I enjoyed watching this tutorial. I was just wondering what the width of the measuring tape should be? I have a tape that measures half an inch, will that be strong enough to make this glasses case? Or should it be wider??? Thank you
@Mellysews
5 жыл бұрын
I uses 1 inch wide tape, so I couldn't say for sure on the 1/2" one. I'd suggest folding a bit of your tape like to top of this and then pulling it apart with your fingers to see if it snaps back together, if so it would probably work.

You want the two curved sides facing inwards. Otherwise there may be gaps when it's closed.
