Beginner Sewing – How to sew a drawstring glasses case

Join me, Susan from Measure Twice Cut Once, as I take you through how to make a drawstring glasses case. Having recently joined the ranks of people who need glasses occasionally I love wearing mine but hate the enormous case that won’t fit into my pockets. Enter this simple yet effective cotton drawstring version.

You’ll be learning how to cut a straight line, sew a straight line, turn corners and zig zag for longevity. Plus clipping to reduce bulk and inserting a drawstring.

The pattern is available from the Measure Twice Cut Once website https://measuretwicecutonce.com.au

2022 is my year of taking the Scary out of Sewing! I want as many people as possible to take up sewing so they can create, make, mend and more. To help take away the scary, every Friday there is going to be a new video with accompanying pattern for a project entirely aimed at beginners. Each week there will be different techniques to learn or go over and it’s going to be a super fun way to grow your sewing skills.
