Steps (8 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 1

    Transfer the embroidery pattern to your fabric of choice and stitch. I used a sunglasses pattern that was once a freebie from Women's Day Magazine a few years ago. I couldn't find the original link, but here is a link to a copy of the pattern that I have: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k7e_YybQVdTwhTBlAhSGwDbNgNMRhgmyy80ghwhbtUo/edit?pli=1

  2. 2

    Cut four pieces of fabric and two pieces of batting into 8x5-inch rectangles.

  3. 3

    For the exterior of the case, take one piece of batting and place a piece of fabric on top of it with the wrong side of the fabric on the batting. Place the embroidered piece of fabric face down on top of that, so that the right sides of the fabric are facing each other and add the other batting piece on top of that. Stitch a 1/4-inch seam around three sides of the rectangle, leaving one shorter end open. Clip the bottom corners and flip.

  4. 4

    Take the two interior pieces of fabric and place them right sides together. Stitch around three sides, leave a 2-inch space unsewn along one longer side. Clip the bottom corners.

  5. 5

    Place the exterior of the case inside of the lining. Align the side seams and sew along the top.

  6. 6

    Use the space left in the lining to flip the case out. Once flipped, stitch this space shut.

  7. 7

    Tuck the lining into the body of the case and top stitch along the top open edge.

  8. 8

    Add your glasses or sunglasses and enjoy!
