The (Free) Raccoon Glasses Case by Pink Pony Design - OKSew Designer Showcase

Описание: In this Designer Showcase tutorial we will be sewing the quick and easy Raccoon Case from Pink Pony Designs.

The Raccoon Case was designed as a sunglasses case but is perfect for pencils, paint or makeup brushes, or for keeping loose items organised.

Skills I will cover in this tutorial include:
Sewing a curve
Installing a zipper on a curve
Working with one side of a zipper
Topstitching curves
Adjusting your lining for a snug fit
Adapting this pattern to have no raw edges or binding
No tab zipper installation

I am sewing on a domestic Juki HZL-DX7. My bag is made using interfaced cotton woven and stabilized with Pellon one sided fusible foam.

From the designer:
“A soft case for glasses, sunglasses, pencils, insulin pens or anything really - that easily opens all the way, making your items quick to get out when needed and easy to put back. The case is flat when not in use, but the padding from the batting keeps your glasses or items safe in your bag when you're not using them.”

Finished Size: ~3 1/2" (8.5cm) wide and 7 1/2-8 1/2" (19-21cm) long.
Skill Level: Beginner
