Classy Glasses Case

Step 1: Cut out Fabric:

• Cut one 8 1/2" x 8" lining fabric
• Cut one 8 1/2" x 8" outer fabric
• If you would like your glass case to be more sturdy, cut one 8 1/2" x 8" piece of interfacing and iron to the back of either the lining or outer fabric piece.

Step 2: Prepare to Serge by Aligning the Fabric:

• With the right sides together, align the fabric pieces along the 8 1/2" edge.
• If you wish, pin the fabric in the center (well away from the seam, you don't want to ever serge over pins!).

Step 3: Serge One 8 1/2" Edge:

• Serge the edge by lifting the foot slightly and sliding it under the front edge of the foot.
• Be certain that the presser foot is in the down position and serge.
• You may use the guidelines on your serger to keep your stitching straight.

Step 4: Serge Off, Leaving a 3" Thread Tail:

• Allow the fabric to move beyond the presser foot and continue serging until you've created a 3" tail.
• Clip the thread tail at the fabric edge.

Secure the Stitches:

• The easiest way to be certain your stitches don't come undone is to dab a dot of Fray-Check where you clipped your stitches.
• Allow the Fray-Check to dry before continuing your project.

Iron:

• Iron open the seam.

Step 5: Fold Fabric in Half (Hot Dog Style)

Step 6: Serge

• Begin by serging the outer fabric end. Serge to the end.
• Serge off a 3" tail and clip.

Secure Along the Long Edge:

• Next, serge the long side.
• Leave the lining fabric end open for turning.

Remember to Serge Off:

• Be certain to serge off, but this time, serge a 6" thread tail.
• Clip the thread tail in the center, leaving 3" at your serger, and 3" beyond the fabric edge.
• Turn right side out.

Serge the Lining Closed:

• Serge closed the opening you used to turn the fabric.
• Press your fabric.
• Turn it right side out.
