Glasses cases

Continuing on my theme or using up the mass of pockets I have accumulated, here is my latest offering of glasses cases.  These have a zipped top, and the pocket would be ideal for storing a cleaning cloth, I feel.

They are ideal for using up fancy pockets too!  I made them from rectangles 4" x 8", which I believe will fit most reading glasses comfortably - and some styles of sunglasses as well.

Glasses cases

I had a few requests at Flitwick for glasses cases and, while I did have some, they were designed for sunglasses.  What was being sought was smaller reading glasses cases.  So I have been experimenting with some designs.
Here is the first version. It is basically an elongated version of the zipped phone case I have made before. I think the pocket will be handy for keeping a glasses cloth in for cleaning the spectacles.  I look forward to customer reactions!

Sunglasses cases version 3

Yet more sunglasses cases from the weekend.  In some ways these are my favourites.  They are easy to make and hold their shape well.  However, I do think they will only appeal to a female audience (though I can't quite work out why I think that.

I have ideas about how to develop these - I am sure I can turn them into monsters and owls and maybe other creatures as well!  I'm not sure whether I have time to do this, but I can dream....

Sunglasses case version 2

This version of the case has sparked off all kinds of ideas in me for other versions (monsters, for example) and also the idea of making some of these which are longer, as pencil cases. Watch this space! In the meantime, the owl theme continues on this blog and I present to you some owl sunglasses cases. Easy to make, they are basically an elongated version of the owl purses. Cute, I think. These have a fastening so the glasses won't fall out. I'm really hoping some shoppers will want a full set ... phone case, sunglasses case, purse and bag!!

Sunglasses cases version 1

I had a day of making sunglasses cases yesterday.  I've finished three styles so far, and two of the styles have led me to think of more variations I can make. Now all we need is the sunshine to create a need for sunglasses and I might have a good seller on my hands!
This version is another way of using front pockets.  The pockets will be useful for storing a cloth to clean your sunglasses.  These ones have no fastenings -so good for the car where protection is needed, but maybe not so good for a handbag where they can slip out.

Very simple to make if you fancy having a go yourself.  Mine are 8.5" x 4.5" unsewn - two rectangles of outer fabric and two of lining.  Stitch the top edges of lining and main fabrics together, then stitch round three sides leaving the short lining edge open.  Clip corners and turn, then stitch the open end closed.
