Another way to make cutouts useful

[Mipi]

I found out that the cutouts I have are just big enough to cover my case for glasses. Original artificial leather was totally warned out. So here is the photo of before:



and 2 photos of after:





I hope this is an inspiration for you.

Very nice. You just glue it down?

Yes. The tricky part is getting the fabric around the edges. I did make some snap cuts, prior stretching it over edge. First I took everything apart, pulled old "leather" down and cleaned everything. Then I glued the fabric on flat surface and afterwards worked with curved part. The last part was edge and inner part. I assembled the case back and glued the inner part of case.

Simple!

I can say that this is kiltmaker accessory, after all I am a kiltmaker (sort of) and I do need glasses.


I'm glade you liked the idea.

Very nice. I see you hunted around for the right scrap to make the results symetrical as well.

Very nice! We in my living history group call that repurposing.
