First of all, let’s start by working out the finished measurements of your sunglasses case. Your finished case needs to be long enough and wide enough for your glasses. Bring the FRONT pieces together by placing the front pieces with right sides together and sewing along the top (slightly curved) edge. Like before, use a ¼" seam allowance. The glasses do fit well inside, and personally I think the eyeglasses case looks sleeker and more sophisticated without closings. To do that before cutting this place your fabric right side to right side, so the wrong side of the lining is facing you. Now cut the angle, or lip as it’s known and pin along that angled edge. Now you are going to take that flat seam and stitch a neat line on the lining side next to the original line you stitch. This is called under-stitching and will prevent fraying, hold the seam in place, also giving the edge a neat finish when turned.

To prepare your casing fabric add fusible fleece to the wrong side of the fabric, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Place the fabric right sides together and machine stitch along the sides with a 1/4″ inch seam allowance. Don't want to use fusible foam? You can use alternatives like are a layer of SF101 plus Decovil Light or high-loft fusible fleece - make sure to visit this interfacing guide for beginners - it will make your (interfacing-related) sewing life so much easier! And your bags and pouches prettier. Finished Size of This Diy Glasses Case a loosely rounded flap that closes with a magnetic snap (I will guide you if you haven't installed a magnetic snap yet. Easy, I pinky promise!) Place your next piece of quilting fabric wrong side facing you, and raw edge aligning an existing raw edge, stitch and then open out. Notch and trim the fabric on the seam allowance for easier turning, then turn right side out. Press and close the opening in the lining.Place the lining fabric on top so the wrong side is facing you. Stitch the seam at 1/4″ seam allowance. Stitch around the fabric rectangle leaving a turning gap at the base of the lining, using a 1/4″ seam allowance, ensuring you do not catch the casing as you stitch. Trim the corners to reduce bulk.

Step 2 - Cut Your Fabric Cutting Directions Or you can use my eyeglass case template and transfer the marking so that you know exactly where to stitch. Fold the eyeglass case lengthwise. You now have an inside out piece just under 16 inches long – with the side on the left having the lining and side on the right the outer fabric. Pin the edges together all around, making sure they line up neatly. I’m really excited to share with you all another 1 hour project which also makes a perfect gift. This Crochet Glasses Case is created using the Even Moss Stitch which is one of my favorite stitches due to the interesting texture it creates. If this is a concern you can solve it by sewing a tiny piece of Velcro to the inside of the top of the sunglasses case on either side. An alternative solution is to sew a button, centrally place, on the outside of the front of the case – that’s the bit with the angled side, near the top. Take a piece of colored twine or braid and make a loop that you place inside the seam so that when you sew the top piece together it will turn outwards when you turn the fabric. Bring the loop down to hook over the button.
