Today I'm going to give you instructions for making the pattern and the list of materials you will need.
To draft the pattern you'll need a large piece of paper, freezer paper works well for this. Draw a rectangle 17 inches by 3.75 inches. As you can see above, I have marked fold lines.
Second part of this is to make a mark 3/4 of an inch on either side of the bottom and then draw a straight line from the lower fold line to this mark. Then at the top, draw a curved line (this will be the flap to close the case). You can cut off the curve on the left side and then use it to mark the right side so that the curve is even on both sides. You could also make the flap a V shape or make it square or asymetrical. Your pattern is complete.
Materials needed: 18 inch by 4 inch piece of muslin, 18 by 4 piece of low loft batting, 18 by 4 inch piece of craft weight interfacing, 18 by 4 inch piece of fabric for lining, 12 inch by 12 inch square of fabric for bias binding. Various scraps of fabric for main part of the case or, if you prefer to make the case out of one piece of fabric, a 18 by 4 inch piece for this.
You will also need velcro for the fastener, coordinating thread, and a button for decoration.
Tomorrow I will show you how to sew the case. Hope you have a good day today.
