Sunglasses Case Tutorial


Now that I live in Texas, I use my sunglasses year 'round. Yes, even in the winter! Because of that, of course I had to make a cute little case to carry them around in! How could I not?! :) Today I'm going to show you how to make your own!


Supplies:

fabric scraps
felt scraps
sewing machine
rotary cutter and mat (optional)
scissors
thread

Cut (2) exterior fabric pieces 4” x 8”.
Cut (2) interior felt pieces 4” x 8”.
Cut (2) fusible fleece 3 ¾” x 7 ¾”.
**If you wear really large frames, you may want to measure your own sunglasses**


Iron fleece onto the wrong side of your exterior fabric pieces. 

Now is the time to embellish it the way you want. You all know how much I LOVE banners, so I cut out mini triangles, placed them on the front making sure to keep them inside the seam line. Then I pinned them and sewed them on.

Place exterior pieces right sides together and sew with a scant ¼” seam as shown.

Clip your corners and turn it right side out. Then set it aside.
Now, take your interior felt pieces and place them right side together. This time when we sew, we’re going to leave a 3” gap on the side as shown.  Sew as shown. Then, clip corners.

Take your exterior case piece and slip it inside the interior piece as shown.

Match up the seams and make sure it's even across the top and pin.

Sew all the way around the top with a ¼” seam, backstitching at the beginning and end.  This part can be tricky but thankfully it’s a short distance to sew. Go slowly!

Reach into the gap you left for turning, and pull the exterior out through the opening.

Pin the opening closed and sew as close to the edge as possible.

Push the lining down into your new sunglasses case! ALL DONE! Super easy, right?!


These are so quick to make and there are so many ways to embellish them! I know you're going to have so much fun making these! :)

If you make some, I'd LOVE to see them! :)

What I'm Working On Weekend


Here's a quick glimpse of the yummy fabric I've been using! Bonnie and Camille are two of my most favorite designers. I don't think it's possible for them to put out a bad fabric line. 


I'm using the Scrumptious line to make a granny square quilt for my sugar pie (that's what I call my daughter-she's 6!). I just finished all the blocks and am currently squaring them up. <-------I hate that part! What a pain in the butt!


I think I might be able to finish it up in the next week or two. I'll also be sharing my fabric stash with you! You can really get to know a girl just by looking at her stash! 

'Til next time!
