Sunglasses Case Tutorial

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.

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?!
