Flat Iron Case Pattern

Before assembling your hot tool case, consider pre-quilting the layers together. Pre-quilting provides several benefits, including added stability and durability to the case.

By quilting the layers together, you create a sturdy foundation that will hold up well to the rigors of travel.

Additionally, pre-quilting helps to evenly distribute the heat-resistant batting, ensuring consistent protection for your belongings.

Step 1- Cut your supplies. I used one layer of Insul-bright

Step 2 – Layer your fabrics and batting – the outer fabric, the batting and the lining fabric

Step 3 – Draw a line from corner to corner and 1″ to 1 1/2″ from each drawn line

Step 4 – Sew on the drawn lines from the center to the outside corner. Repeat this same process making a grid quilting pattern

Step 5 – Trim all the sides. After trimming my measurements were 11 x 14 1/2″. Yours may be different.

Step 6 – Use the Boxed Bag Template to cut rounded corners

Step 7 – Line up the ruler with two sides

Step 8 – Cut the curved corner. Repeat with all four corners

Step 9 – Pin the binding to the sides and sew in place

Step 10 – Tuck the binding end inside the binding beginning. Fiddle till it fits nicely and continue stitching until the binding is attached

Step 11 – Fold the binding back and press, turn to the other side

Step 12 – Sew binding on the other side 1/8″ from the edge of the binding strip

Step 13 – Fold the piece in half

Step 14 – Measure from the left side 3″ and mark with a pin

Step 15 – Stitch from the mark / pin to the end at the fold. Stitch directly on top of the previous binding stitch. Back stitch at the start and end

Step 16 – Stitch again on the edge of the binding. This gives it a nice finished edge look.

Step 17 – You are ready to use the hot tool carry case for travel
