That's how it's done:
- Make pattern according to template, cut fabric for front and back. Cut the non-woven fabric line twice according to the template and iron on both fabrics from the left.
- Pin the velvet ribbon at the Vichykaro and the rose goggles or the crimp ribbon at the edge of the front piece right to the right all the way around the "Do not disturb" goggle and quilt around the edge. The curled side of the curling ribbon points to the center of the fabric. Cut the ribbon for the Vichykaro glasses in half.
- Fold the front and back of all the glasses right to right, put the bands to tie them or the elastic cord inwards and fix them at both ends. In Vichykaro glasses, fold the velvet ribbon in half and stick it to the edge. Now stitch together both cut pieces, with the bands / the rubber tights on both sides; leave the top edge of the glasses open to turn.
- Turn the glasses through the opening and fill in lavender flowers. Sew on by hand. Voilá and good night!
