Sew a glasses case

1 Download the templates, print and cut out. Pin the glasses case template to thick felt and cut out one piece. Reverse and cut another from green printed fabric. Cut small squares of dark orange, orange, yellow and green woollen fabrics and iron fusible webbing onto the back of each.

2 Trace the spiky flower motif onto dark red woollen fabric, the two oval motifs onto orange and yellow and the stem onto green. Cut each of the shapes out using embroidery scissors.

3 Peel the backing paper off the stem and arrange on the right-hand side of the green base fabric. Press under a cloth to fix and stitch using green thread. Repeat with the spiky flower and position just above the stem. Iron to fix. Machine stitch in an oval pattern using straight stitch and red thread.

4 Fix the orange oval in place. Stitch using a zig zag stitch. Iron the yellow shape on top and zig zag stitch in orange thread. Sew small orange sequins and seed beads around the centre of the flower, then dot more around the embroidery.

5 Write ‘Mum’ onto the green fabric using an air-erasable pen. Thread a needle with three strands of orange embroidery thread and sew using back stitch. With right sides facing, pin the base and sides of the glasses case together and machine stitch up to the curve. Turn out.

6 With right sides facing, pin the base and sides of the green floral lining together and machine stitch up to the curve. Press over a 1cm hem at the raw edges and push the lining into the glasses case. Fold over a 1cm hem at the woollen edge, then pin and sew the lining into place with small neat stitches.
