    Such a smooth video to watch. Your voice is soothing to listen to, your little extra tips will ensure ours looks as great as yours. You could also give this as a go-along with a journal for their pens/pencils. They could clip onto the top flap, or we could sew a few straight lines through the pocket to make slots for the pencils and pens. Thanks for all your work.

      Or tack the elastic when item is still flat, before folding over, so that a pen/pencil could slide in that area! Thanks for that great idea as my granddaughter likes to journal.

    I missed this video….Glad I checked my subs ! I bought this pretty butterflies fat quarter in white …. Did not see the blue on the shelf. I didn’t have a project in mind …now thanks to this video, I am making one for me. Great 👍 idea to put it on elastic to strap to my journal. My reading glasses are lost usually and I have to retrace my steps, so this is a very creative and practical project. 💕love all you ideas !

    I have never seen an eyeglasses case like this. This is a wonderful idea. It is beautiful and so needed. I use to have to get my children up early in the mornings to find my glasses. When they married and moved away, I had to be more careful about where I left my glasses before going to bed. Thank you for this wonderful idea.

      Sew one stitch at a time and pivoting a tiny bit each time. (hand wheel each stitch if necessary) Shorten your stitch length if you want and use a ¼” edge guide if you have one. (draw a curve and practice on scraps)
