Start centrally-ish on your batting, lay a piece of one of your favorite fabrics right sides facing you, place a second piece of fabric, which is the same length, on the top, the wrong side facing you. Stitch through the three layers of fabricwith a 1/4″ seam allowance and straight stitch, thus attaching the fabric to the batting. The glasses do fit well inside, and personally I think the eyeglasses case looks sleeker and more sophisticated without closings. Place the two casings so the raw edges align with the top edge of the right side of the external panels. Baste in place. If you’re workings with some lightweight fabrics, you’ll need to add a little structure to your main fabric. Place the main fabric on top of the bumpy side of the interfacing and press with an iron from both sides. If you are using one fabric instead iron your fusible fleece to the wrong side of your main fabric, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
to assure a good fit of lining, use a larger seam allowance when sewing lining. The seam allowance should gradually increase from the usual ¼" where the lining meets the outer fabric to ½" at the sides and bottom. Step 10 - Turn And TopstitchAttach/sew on button in the appropriate spot (mine is attached at approx. Row 7 from the top, not including the edging row – use your own glasses as a guide Keep building up your fabric pieces, feel free to throw in the odd diagonal line, remove any excess fabric as you go. Keep happily stitching until you have quilted the area required for the pattern pieces. Now it’s time to push the lining into the outer fabric case and make sure they fit snugly into each other and lie flat before giving them the final press. And there you are – one eyeglasses or sunglasses case done and dusted. To prepare your casing fabric add fusible fleece to the wrong side of the fabric, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Open out the pieces and turning both the seam allowances towards the lining side, press flat along that curved edge so it’s nice and crisp. STEP 5: Understitch the lining There is a faster way to cut the fabrics for this DIY glasses case. I’d like to cut all three pieces at once so I place the interfacing with the bumpy side up, then place the outer fabric with right side on top and then I place the lining with it’s wrong side up.

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. Trim the quilt-as-you-go panels to the required size using a quilters ruler, cutting mat and rotary cutter. If you are anything like me you keep hopping into a car with your sunnies on, then find you have nowhere safe to put them when you enter a shopping mall.

If you are using a patchwork fabric now is the time to sew your patchwork pieces together (see above). I always start with a larger piece of batting than required in the pattern. 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.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 Now take that long straight seam that meets the angled seam and pin down the lining and outer for just one inch, then stitch with a 1/4 inch seam allowance and trim. This creates the convenient spot on the finished item where you can reach in to get your eyeglasses out of the DIY eyeglass case. I wanted my eyeglasses pouch to be generously sized, so it will fit any size eyeglasses and especially, will be large enough for ANY size sunglasses. And I wanted it to have a decently stable outer layer for protection. And I wanted it not flat. Also, it had to be pretty! What do you say, have I succeeded?
