How to Make a Case for Sunglasses or Eyeglasses

Materials:

• 1 Main fabric piece measuring 8X9 inches
• 1 Lining fabric piece measuring 8X9 inches
• 1 Piece of interfacing 7x8 inches
• 1 Piece of fabric (same as main fabric or lining fabric-you choose) 2x5 inches
• Scissors
• Thread
• Sewing Machine

Step 1:  Cut the main fabric and lining fabric to 8x9 inches.

Step 2:  Cut the interfacing fabric one inch shorter 7x8 inches.

Step 3:  Iron the fabric pieces flat and smooth

Step 4:  Lay the interfacing piece of fabric down on the wrong side of the main fabric and iron. I could iron on the interfacing with it facing me because only one side of my interfacing is fusible.

Step 5:  Lay the main fabric and the lining fabric, right sides together, and sew around the edge 1/4 inch and leave a hole about 2 inches or more so you can turn the fabric right side out.

Step 6:  Cut the excess fabric corners and turn right side out.

Step 7:  Iron the fabric flat

Step 8:  Take the 2x5 piece of fabric, fold in half and iron the crease. Open the fabric up and bring one edge to the middle/where you see the crease and iron that flat.  Do the same thing with the other side. Fold again to make a tab and sew a straight stitch down the tab.

Step 9:  Fold the main piece of fabric, right sides together with the tab about an inch from the top. You will sandwich the tab between the main pieces of fabric. (The lining fabric will show on the outside at this point.)

Step 10:  Sew around the fabric, except for the opening where the sunglasses will enter.

Step 11:  Turn right side out, iron, and DONE!
