Welcome to the Birch Trees Glasscase tutorial, where you’ll learn to sew and embellish a practical glasscase. This guide walks you through using machine embroidery to add a birch tree design and assembling the case with basic sewing steps. The project is simple and can be completed in about an hour. For this quick and easy project we used the designs from the Birch Tree Panel Set, the designs are for a large (5" x 7") hoop.
The finished size of the glasscase is 3 1/4" x 7 1/4".
