Never lose your page or reading glasses again! Make a beautiful padded fabric eyeglasses case that is both functional and useful. Thanks for watching.
I love this idea. I don't see your lik for the pattern/template. May I have it if it's still available. TIA
Thank you. You can find it here. Links are always in the description below the video. Happy Sewing! notches-sewing.com/products/bookmark-eyeglasses-case-with-elastic-strap-pdf-sewing-pattern
Thank you so much Angela I really really enjoyed watching you create this beautiful and amazingly creative bookmark and glasses holder. I watched this 6-months ago. But, I was just reviving my own collection of bookmarks. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Mags🙂
Your tutorials are so easy to follow.
Thankyou.
Happy to hear that!
Very clever! Love that your tutorials/videos are short and get to business! Thanks for the inspiration!
Glad you like them! No one needs to listen to me longer than necessary,,,🤣
Thank you a beautiful idea
Most welcome 😊. Glad you like it. Happy Sewing!
Nice 👍 I could do that with a pot holder 👍
Yes you can!
This is such a great idea for the "grandparents" for Christmas gifts!! Once again, your video is such a great idea/help!! Love it!
Thanks Anneke. This is fun to make too.
Awesome as usual!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a great idea! Love your easy to follow directions!
Thanks so much! 😊
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.
Thanks Deborah. I have already filmed a pen holder like this but haven't had time to edit yet. Will have soon. Thanks for watching.
@@NotchesSewing oh good! I was just thinking that, since my grandson doesn't wear glasses, I could make him something similar. Only with it holding color pencils for long car trips or when he needs to sit quietly but have something to do.
Stay tuned. I have a lot of editing to get through and so little time. The day job gets in the way haha!!
Great idea❤
thank you😊
Cute! 💜
Thank you😊
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 !
Making this for the seniors I know cause they know how badly this is needed.
Birthday gifts for 2022…. CHECKED !! 👍👍
🙂glad I'm keeping you busy! I have a few more elastic vids to upload soon. Do you have ALL notifications turned on? Thanks again Berniece.
@@NotchesSewing : Hi …I didn’t know about notification “ALL” ! Thanks for that tip! LOL …I learn something new from you all the time !! 😁😁
I love it. This pattern is beautiful. thank you
Thanks. Have you made it yet?
Happy Thanksgiving, this one was really good!
Thanks! You too! Cheers😊
☺Yet another fun, useful and great gift idea. Your instructions are priceless. You not only make it look easy, but provide the guidance I need to say "I can't believe I made that"! Thank you for your commitment to quality and ease of application.
Thanks for your kind words Suzanne! Much appreciated. 😊🙏
Wow! What a great gift idea for anybody that needs glasses to read or use a computer. You can make the elastic longer or shorter... I'm using it to keep my glasses with my Kindle! Thank you for another great tutorial!
You’re very welcome😀. Thanks for watching.🙏
I made these for Christmas gifts for our book club, and paired it with a Book Club Journal! Such an easy pattern, and great tutorial - Thank you!
You’re most welcome. Hope your club members like them😊
Thank you so much Angela, I really really love ❤❤❤ this idea. Your instructions are very very precise and totally accurate and beautifully executed too. I really really love ❤❤ your videos. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 🙏
You have the BEST tutorials! Thank you!
Wow, thank you! Will have more soon😊
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.
The sound is very low on this video. None of the other videos that I watch are turned down so low. I can't turn my sound up any higher.
Not sure about the sound as it is fine on all my devices. Thanks again for watching. I hope you will make this so you always know where your glasses are😊
I agree with you, it is a great idea and I too couldn't hear but I have extra speakers so that I can turn up the volume. Now to remember to turn it back down so the next video doesn't blast me! lol
Your instructions are flawless. What a gorgeous and functional gift
Thanks Lynn. I think these are so fun to make. Thanks for watching!😊
Unique and beautiful.Thanks for sharing 👌👍
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought the pattern, this is super easy and quick to make!
Glad you like it!
Great idea! This would work well on the sun visor in the car too!
Yes! Great idea😊! Thank you

What a clever idea. I really appreciate your tutorials. They are so clear and concise and your sewing is impeccable. Thank you. :)
Thank you so much! I appreciate your lovely feedback 🙂
@@NotchesSewing I'm still not sure what I am doing wrong. I was able to subscribe to your newsletter, but I still get an error message when I try to download the file. I even changed my settings to allow cookies and pop-ups. I'm sure I can mock up the pattern, but the actual pattern would have been good to have. Thanks again for the tutorial.
Hmm, on our end it doesn’t look like you filled out a form? Try filling out the pattern form again or alternatively please send me an email which you can find on my channel . Cheers
what a great idea. your so clever thank you.
Thank you! Cheers!
love this thank you for sharing
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching😊
Wow,what a beautiful and practical idea.I only need glasses to watch TV so I'm always losing mine in the lounge😂 ,so this is a wonderful solution xx🎄
Maybe make one fit fit around the Remote Control! That’s actually what I’m always losing! Have a good Day!
Love this, thanks!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching😊
It's beautiful and easy to follow
Thanks so much 😊. please have a look at my other glasses case czcams.com/video/yq5Ajhohzeg/video.html
I will 🙂
Very cool!!
thank you🙂
I love your easy-to-do tutorials please keep them coming,, I am looking for the easiest waistcoat to make but haven't found it yet?
Thank you. I don’t have any full garment construction videos. When I make in future, will most likely be on a website. Cheers
Great gift idea Angela, Thank you!
Thanks again Pat😊
this is really useful 👍👍👌👌 really nice Angela 🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️👍👌🤓
Glad you think so Nongnong🙂
@@NotchesSewing 🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️
I was thinking a great place to put this is the visor in the car.
Great idea!
عالی very good 👍 👌 👏
thanks for watching.
I enjoyed this pattern! It would be great to market a plastic template for this pattern piece!
Great idea! Will have to look into it as the pattern is already free to download. Thanks for watching😊
Nice tutorial! Would you be able to make a tutorial including a separate pocket for a eyeglass cloth? Thanks
Thank You! I will put it on my list of requests. Cheers!
I just finished one for my mom! the corners were a bit hard to top stitch, even slowly. I hope with time and practice I can get it to look more smooth. Overall I'm still very happy with it.
Did you trim down the corners before turning right side out? Corners can be a bit tricky to topstitch but gets easier with practice. You can slowly handwheel it around for more control. Thanks for watching😊
Great idea and thank you for the pattern. Would you allow one to sell finished works using your pattern?
You can sell on small scale.
Thank you! ❤
I loved this idea so much I went to your site and bought the pattern.. Is ok to sew and sell this item?
Thank you! Yes you can sell. Just can’t copy and sell pattern or video tutorial. All the best!
@@NotchesSewing Thank you so very much :)
Angela, is there a trick to getting a nice smooth stitch on the curves? I’m having a terrible time making it look nice. Thank you
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)
Thank you! Yes I’m going to practice, practice.
I've been looking on Amazon for the 1" elastic, but not sure who I should go with. Can you help me choose which one us best.
Thank you
Thanks for watching Jayne. Any knitted or braided elastic will do . Please see the link to purchase in the description of the video. Cheers!
Do we have to give phone number to get the pattern? I'd rather not get texts and I already get enough annoying telemarket hangup calls.
I do like this project, thank you for creating so many helpful videos.
Hi Laura, should be fine without phone number. I promise there are no telemarketing calls.Thanks for watching🙂
@@NotchesSewing, thank you for your reply. I am sorry if I seemed rude, it was not my intent but even today, a holiday in U.S., we've had hangup calls because it takes me too long to find the cell phone. How I long for the days where I knew the phone was hanging on the kitchen wall, lol. The cell could be anywhere I used it last. Okay I will get the pattern as I think my granddaughter would love this. I am going to add a couple stitches for a pen holder in the elastic with a generous 1/4 inch added to it.
Thank you again for your lovely videos. I do love your way of teaching.
@@NotchesSewing, sorry to bother you again but I entered email and phone number but got this message: "An error occured when submitting. Please try again later."
I have tried with phone number and without.
I love this video! sadly, when I put my email to get pattern it says error occured :(, love your videos!
Can you please email me with the email you entered and the URL you were using to opt in. I’ll get it looked into. Thanks for watching!
@@NotchesSewing I already emailed you via your website contact email
@@NotchesSewing would love if I can get the pattern, i will send email again via your website
@@NotchesSewing Oh it worked on different browser! sorry about that :) excited to make this!! thank you
That’s great. I haven’t recieved your email yet but can you tell me what the original browser that didn’t work so I can tell maintenance, Many thanks. I’ve got some more projects soon. Cheers!
I have tried several times to download the pattern but I keep getting an error message. I have tried with and without a phone number. Any suggestions?
Not sure as haven’t had issues. Maybe try looking in your spam folder. Let me know if you still have problem.
Ordered this today but still haven’t received it. Does it take a few days to get it?
You should’ve received an immediate email with the link for pattern. Please check your spam/junk folder in case it’s there. Please email me and I’ll make sure you have it. Cheers!
@@NotchesSewing I will email you. Thanks
Still no pattern and I have emailed you several times. Can I cancel my order and get a refund if I am unable to get the pattern? Thanks I have ordered before without issues.
I'd Love to have your pattern, but I don't know how to send money for it.
Link is in the description Cheers!😊
@@NotchesSewing if it is through the internet or pay pal I can't get it. I don't have that.
