Since sewing with and Imitation leather also the are Pattern easy, these instructions are also ideal for beginners.

This is how the bags are made:

Spectacle case

Download the template and transfer the big one twice Pattern to Imitation leatherthe smaller one once. Suitable is beside Imitation leather also genuine leather or also cotton fabrics, which you must strengthen however still with fleece, so that the eyeglass case has enough hold.

Note the fabric break edge when cutting and a seam allowance of approx. 1 cm. We Pattern have transferred the larger one to silver as well as Imitation leather to light blue. The upper part is cut once in light blue leather. You can choose and match the colour combination to your taste

Place the large cut pieces left on top of each other and place the upper one (in Ribbon our example light blue) on the larger cut pieces (in our example on the silver fabric) and sew it on the top and bottom Ribbon with a narrow edge.

Now fold the case and sew the sides and the bottom together. Now your bag is ready and has an opening at the top for your glasses.

Tip:
During the sewing process fix the leather with clips! That way it cannot slip and you will get a clean sewing result.

Small bag for glasses, cosmetics or as a clutch and much more:

Print out the corresponding template and transfer it to the Imitation leather. Please note the fabric break and a seam allowance of 1 cm. You can also use real leather or fleece reinforced leather Cotton fabric.

Cut out your cut piece.

For a nicer look, we have stitched it all around Imitation leather with a narrow edge. Since it does Imitation leather not fray, this step is purely optical. However Cotton fabric, we recommend using this step so that your bag does not fray later.

Now fold the side parts towards the middle. Either sew them one on top of the other by hand or put the edges left to left and sew them together with the sewing machine

In a further step, fold the lower part over the side parts and sew them together a little bit in the middle with the sewing machine or by hand.

At the end you attach the buttons with the button pliers

Tip: Fix the leather with staples during the sewing process! This prevents it from slipping and gives you a clean sewing result.
