My husband gave me a curling iron case years ago, and one of my daughters frequently commented on how
handy it was. I could not find anything similar, so used my old one to make a pattern. It also fit my
daughter's straightening iron. Some irons are thicker or wider and would require adjusting the width of the
case.
Materials:
1-14"x 11" rectangle of decorative outside fabric for body
1-8½" x 11" rectangle of decorative outside fabric for pocket
1-14" x11" rectangle of ThermaFlec heat resistant fabric*
1-14" x11" rectangle of cotton batting
1¼ yards of Double Fold Extra Wide Bias tape in contrasting or matching color
Directions:
1. Cut out pattern pieces 1A and 1B; overlap and tape 1B to 1A. From this pattern, cut on the fold one
piece each of the outside fabric, the cotton batting, and the ThermaFlec for the body.
2. Cut out pattern piece 2 for the pocket. This piece is a little wider to allow ease for the cord. Encase the
top straight edge in bias tape.
3. Layer the three pieces of the body in this order: ThermaFlec wrong side up, batting, fabric right side up.
4. Pin or baste layers across the top and for about 2-3 inches on the lower two sides for stability.
6. Fold the body in half with ThermaFlec inside; position the pocket around it to match edges and curved
end. Pin or use clips to hold together and to position bias tape.
7. Leave a 5" tail of bias tape at the top for a hanging loop. Begin sewing at the end of the tape and
continue enclosing the edges of the case.
8. When getting close to the end, tuck the ends of the bias tape under and sew to end. Backstitch.
9. Turn the tail toward the back to form the hanging loop. I sewed it down first with a straight stitch and
then a tiny zig-zag stitch. Trim any excess tail close to the stitching.
This project takes about one hour or less from start to finish. I enclosed the following card with my gifts.
