EASY QUILTED EYEGLASS CASE



Before I mailed the scarf and quilted bag to my daughter that I previously posted about, I decided to make a quilted eyeglass case for her after seeing this super easy tutorial (thanks Karen at Sew Many Ways)  here (and just finding out from her that she now has to wear glasses for the first time....all that close up work for her jewelry designing and the fact that she's getting older LOL!!!) I chose two of the fabrics used for her bag and had this project done in a very short time...it's that easy!!!  The case is reversible (see second pic...you can have the quilted side on the inside by pushing it into the fabric side if you choose...I prefer it on the outside). The third pic is just to show the size in relation to the bag I made..the eyeglass case fits inside this with lots of room for other "stuff". I plan on making more of these using bright color fabrics for all the 'readers' (those are mine in the pics) I have all over the house so I can see where I left them....my daughter is not the only one getting older LOL!!!  BTW...my daughter called today when the package arrived and said she loved all her quilted gifties :o)

  3. What a cute case! I know what you mean about glasses, I have readers all over and am trying to make myself wear my "real" glasses all the time. I have a BIG magnifier next to my sewing machine too.
