This show continues with both subtle and show stopping details you can add to your sewing projects. step by step instructions in detail. Then the eyes have it as first, Joanne Banko makes a glasses case with a design aesthetic perfect for a gift for your favorite guy! We finish with Kay Whitt adding a sunglass pocket to a tote.
Angela begins with by adding a flirty flounce to the sleeve of her Linda tunic. Machine embroidery on the sleeve is a standout detail that elevates this top into a style worthy of the runway. If you prefer a look that's more understated, you can simply add the flounce without the machine embroidered flourish.
I really like the inconspicuous casing she adds for gathering a sleeve cuff with elastic. On the show you'll see her use purchased binding. For a super neat finish you could consider cutting you own bias strips of fabric, using Dritz bias tape makers to form the bias strip. this would be especially nice if you want to maintain a soft feel and a clean look inside your top.

Next up, you'll see me sewing something suitable for the men in your life. This easy to make eyeglass case would be just fine kept plain but I think you'll enjoy the unique cording technique.
I used Razzle™ 6 ply rayon thread, generously provided by Wonderfil® Specialty Threads for my cording, feeding it through a five-hole cording foot. Then I selected a checkerboard stitch to anchor it in place.

You can achieve a rich look with faux suede on the outside, then have some fun by using novelty fabric for the lining.
Fabric.com has a great selction of faux suede. You could also substitute firm fabric such asmedium weight home decor fabric. Check out current sale prices with the *link below.
Add a monogram before construction if you wish and you'll be proud to present a gift any guy would love to receive.
True confession, I forgot to slip a piece of tear away underneath the piece while I did my decorative stitching, but I want to make sure you get every step just right so make sure you CLICK HERE to download the show notes. In addition to complete instructions, you'll find a full-size pattern so you can quickly get started making your own custom cases.
Kay Whitt is last but not least with her purse pocket for glasses. Kay's pocket for glasses is something you may find yourself making over and over again. I suggest making a sample on scrap fabric just to get the hang of it before cutting into designer fabric. While this pocket is not hard to do it’s always good to warm up with a practice sample when possible. Known for her thorough instructions, you'll find a step-by-step pdf file you can print when you CLICK HERE.
