| Gift number three is a glasses case which co-ordinates with the set which includes a purse size tissue holder, the glasses case, checkbook cover, credit cover, and a purse...watch for all the peices as they are put up |
| cut a double sided quilted material for the top and bottom, then hoop your stablizer, ( I used Vilene, because it washes out) then take it to your machine, stitch #1 which shows red, it is the placement stitching...set your material centered where this stitching is, you can use a bit of Quilt basting spray if you choose. Next it will stitch your material in place. Trim around the top. You will see there is a sideways stitch that is where you start and finish with your trimming Next it will stitch out the satin stitching for the top area, ( on the front the word "glasses") Next on the front you will continue with the designs until you get to the last stop, which will allow you to line up the front and back before they are stitched together. I use pins to "straighten" them up and then pin on the side to hold them and then stitch |
| Remove from hoop and trim the outside material from the satin stitch down and around |
| Now use fray check or stop fray around the satin stitching, this will give it a bit of "strength" to keep the stitches in place with repeated usage. If you want to add a closure you can use Velcro, or put a button hole on the back side, and an button on the inside front |
