Change is Good!
Joan's Needle has changed its name to Bucklebee! You'll find the same excellent information here by the same author--only the title has changed. So sit back, relax, read, enjoy. You're in the right place.

On the Case
This week I've made 10 quick, simple cases for electronics out of ready-quilted fabric and bias tape. I cut the bias strips 1 3/4 inches wide which is the perfect width for heavy fabric and a 1/4" seam allowance. I'm using buttons and covered elastic hair-ties as closures. I measure for placement of the buttons, use a seam sealant on the hair elastics. When the sealant dries, I cut the tie in half and use several rows of straight stitching to hold it in place. A second button covers the cut ends.
