I made a cute sunglasses case project the other day.
{Isn't this January??}
"Sew why did I make a sunglasses pouch now?"
Even though it has been cold here.... we have had a lot of bright, sunny days. And , besides, it is a fast and fun Retro styled paper pieced design by Janeen, of Quilt Art Designs. 'Nuff said!
Pattern: Retro Sunglasses design by Janeen of Quilt Art Designs blog
- from issue # 8 of Paper Piecing 1/4 " Digital Magazine (here ) Jan-Mar 2016
Size: 4 1/2 " high by 8 " across. I added a 2 inch band across the top .
Fabrics: Scraps- bright and colorful
Scrap Pellon fusible fleece 987 (on the outer pouch fabric wrong side)
The eyeglass pattern is fun and easy to make.
My pouch/case is plenty wide for a large pair of sunglasses. I could've made the pattern into a zippered or snap pouch, too.
I smile when I see my brightly colored vintage style sunglasses case.
There are lots of other fun and stylish Retro patterns in this new issue of the Paper Piecing 1/4 "digital magazine ( Jan - Mar 2016). Keep "an eye out" for what I make next out of it!

Your retro glasses case is such fun - your fabric choices fit perfectly. This would make a good 'thank you' gift for a glasses-wearing teacher at the end of the school year too.
ReplyDeleteThat cheery sunglasses case would brighten the most dismal days of winter Susie! You do such a great job with your paper piecing and fabric selections!
ReplyDeleteI love your choices of fabric you used!!!
