Recorder Case

Find some quilting weight cotton you like and make yourself a recorder case. Please ask for assistance from a grow up when cutting and sewing.

1) Cut a piece of fabric 6 inches x 20 inches.

2) If you would like to applique or add design to your fabric, now is the time. I chose to add on green fabric strips because my yellow fabric had no definite pattern.

3) Be sure to trim your edges after sewing.

4) Turn fabric over. Fold and iron a 1/4 inch on each long side.

5) Stitch down each side.

6) Fold down the top of your recorder case 1 inch and iron.

7) Stitch about 1/4 inch from the end of fabric so you leave a 3/4 inch opening in the fabric.
8) Fold right sides together, pin, and sew.
9) Snip a bit off the two bottom ends.
10) Attach a safety pin to 9 in. piece of ribbon and pull through the opening at the top of your case.

11) Tie ends together.

12) You're all done. Now start playing!
