Sewing a Set: A Vanity and Eyeglass Cases

Today I offer to make a cute set: a vanity case and an eyeglass case.

So, you need:

Materials:Tools:
- top fabric (45x45 cm)- ruler
- lining fabric (45x45 cm)- stationery round knife
- fabric for piping (45x45 cm)- cutting mat
- batting- scissors
- 2 zips- tailor's marker
- thread

Stock up with good mood and begin.

Assemble a sandwich for quilting. Iron the batting and gather all in this order:

  • lining with the right side up
  • batting
  • top fabric with the right side down

This time I chose the feather pattern:

Now cut out a bias tape with the 4.5 cm width at an angle of 45 degrees along the lengthwise thread, combine pieces in one tape:

Now cut out all main parts — four rectangles: two pieces 20х11 cm and two pieces 28х21 cm. The top corners are rounded any convenient way:

First, make the eyeglass case.

1. Stitch the bias tape on the rounded corners:

2. Sew the zip. Make one seam closer to the chain:

Iron the zip to make it softier for stitching:

Then tuck the tape and stitch it at 1 mm from the edge:

3. Zip the chain; sew the tail, cut off the excess and scorch:

4. Treat the lower cuts with the bias tape:

5. Put the details with the back sides together and baste the straight edge in one direction and then in the other:

6. Tack the sides:

Fold and stitch the edges. Then treat the corners withthe bias tape:

The eyeglass case is ready!

Now, the vanity case.

Repeat steps 1, 2, 4 and 5:

The sides are sewn manually at 10-12 cm from the bottom:

And then the corners are joined and sewn to shape the bottom:

That's all, the set is ready! You can reward yourself with chocolate and applause :)
