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”.

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.
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! :)
'Til next time!
