Practical fabric accessories that can be used as everyday items (1–10)
pot holder

A cute potholder made from fabric scraps is a handy item that’s easy to incorporate into everyday life.
It’s important to balance the layering: stack the fabric to make it sturdy so heat doesn’t transfer to your hand, while also keeping enough flexibility to grip items securely.
The process is simple—turning the sewn fabrics inside out—but pay attention to your stitching here as well, and add a final structure that makes it easy to hold.
By creating a pocket for your hand, even a thick potholder becomes more stable to use, and choosing the scraps for the pocket lets you finish it with your own unique design.
coaster

I’m going to show you how to make a handmade coaster by sewing fabric scraps together.
Prepare four 13 x 13 cm fabric squares.
Since there will be a front and a back, I recommend using patterned fabric for the front.
Place an 8 x 8 cm template diagonally at the center of the fabric and mark around it.
Sew along the marked line with a sewing machine, then trim the excess outside the seam.
If you’re worried about fraying, apply clear nail polish to the edges.
You can enjoy various designs, such as using three pieces of fabric or changing only the border pattern.
Another advantage is that it takes just a few steps: mark the stacked fabrics, sew them together with a machine, and cut.
glasses case

Many people wear glasses or carry items like sunglasses or blue-light computer glasses, don’t they? For those people, a handmade glasses case makes a great gift.
Since it’s a case, the key is to use fusible interfacing to give structure to soft fabric.
Also, there aren’t many seams to sew with a machine, so it feels easy to make.
Even for someone who already has a glasses case, gifting another lets them switch cases by season or mood.
A glasses case made from a lovely patterned fabric is sure to delight the recipient.
cutlery case

A cutlery case is handy to have when you eat a bento.
There are many types available, but fabric ones are convenient because you can toss them in the wash when they get dirty.
This idea uses a rectangular piece of fabric folded to create both the compartment(s) for storing cutlery and a flap.
You can make as many dividers as you like, and the steps aren’t very difficult.
If you can use a sewing machine, you should be able to make it quickly.
Cutlery cases come in various shapes, so try finding a style you like.
cushion cover

A cushion cover to go over a store-bought cushion—being able to change the cushion to a design you like is the key point.
Although it’s a simple bag that holds the cushion, be mindful of the finer balance, such as making the size fit the cushion perfectly.
For the opening where you insert the cushion, it’s recommended to place a slit-like opening in the middle of the back, and construct it so that the fabric overlaps.
This keeps the cushion from popping out while also creating a cohesive look.
It may also be good to sew with a softer touch so the cushion’s feel is emphasized.
