How to: ITH Vision Valet Eyeglass Sleeve Tutorial

February 28, 2025

How to: ITH Vision Valet Eyeglass Sleeve Tutorial

Why You'll Love Creating Your Own Vision Valet

Transform your embroidery skills into practical, everyday luxury with the Vision Valet eyeglass sleeve! This clever all-in-the-hoop design features a special interior lining that doubles as a lens cleaner, keeping your glasses protected and crystal clear wherever you go.

The Vision Valet makes a perfect:

  • Thoughtful gift for friends and family who wear glasses
  • Stylish accessory that matches any personal style (customize with your favorite fabrics!)
  • Practical solution to prevent scratches while keeping lenses clean
  • Quick weekend project that delivers professional-looking results
  • Great way to use up beautiful fabric scraps from your stash

For an extra touch of luxury, we recommend using genuine leather for the exterior! Leather offcuts from your local handcrafted furniture store are often available at minimal cost, making this an affordable way to create a high-end accessory. The natural leather creates a durable, sophisticated look that improves with age.

One of the best features of the Vision Valet is its sturdy yet slim profile. Unlike bulky commercial cases that take up precious space in your purse or pocket, this sleek design offers reliable protection without the bulk. It's the perfect space-saving solution for travelers, commuters, or anyone who appreciates streamlined accessories.

BONUS SIZES INCLUDED!

We're excited to offer the Vision Valet in multiple sizes to help organize every aspect of your life:

  • Mini Valet: Perfect for tidying cellphone cables, earbuds, and other small electronic accessories. Keep your tech organized and tangle-free!
  • Standard Valet: Our classic eyeglass sleeve size, ideal for protecting your everyday glasses or sunglasses.
  • Grande Valet: A larger version designed to hold a variety of loose items. Perfect for organizing your handbag, desk drawer, or travel kit. Use it for makeup, small notebooks, portable chargers, or anything else that needs a tidy home!

Each size features the same premium construction and lens-cleaning interior, making this design truly versatile. Create a matching set in coordinating fabrics for a complete organization system!

Best of all, this project is completely beginner-friendly while still being satisfying for experienced stitchers. In just a few simple steps, you'll create a polished, functional accessory that looks store-bought but has your personal touch.

Easy-to-Follow Tutorial Steps

Materials Needed:

  • Embroidery machine and appropriate hoop
  • Stabilizer
  • One piece of batting
  • Exterior fabric (or leather offcuts for premium finish)
  • Interior lens-cleaning friendly fabric
  • Embroidery adhesive spray
  • Two snap fasteners
  • Basic sewing supplies (scissors, thread etc.)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Hoop your stabilizer and stitch the first color stop which creates your outline. Apply embroidery adhesive spray to help position one layer of batting plus your exterior fabric over this outline.

Step 2: Stitch the second color stop to secure your fabric and batting within the hoop.

Step 3: The decorative design will now stitch on your exterior fabric.

Step 4: Remove the hoop and turn it around. Apply adhesive spray to the back and attach your special lens-cleaning lining fabric.

Return the hoop to your machine and stitch the next color stop - this creates a running stitch that secures the lining.

Remove the hoop again, carefully trim excess fabric from both front and back sides, then reattach the hoop. Remember to use matching top and bobbin thread for a professional finish.

Step 5: The satin stitch will now run around the entire edge, beautifully finishing your project while securing all raw edges.

Step 6: Two small "+" markings will stitch on the left and right sides of your sleeve. These indicate the perfect placement for your snap fasteners. After all embroidery is complete. Trim the excess stabilizer from your design. Be careful not to cut the satin stitching.

Final Assembly: Simply attach snap fasteners at the marked positions, and your Vision Valet eyeglass sleeve is complete and ready to use!

With these clear, straightforward steps, you'll be amazed at how quickly you can create a professional-quality organizer that's both beautiful and functional. Start stitching your Vision Valet collection today!
