10 Minute Sunglasses Case

[@conishkee]

6/20/22: I made two of these, the first of which I followed your instructions to the letter, and the second one I did my own take on it. When after the interface has been applied and the two pieces are sewn, right sides together, I flipped it over to the right side and stitched a 1/8" line across the short side where both seams meet to give it a finishing touch. I did not come up 9” because it left me with a very little flap, so I opted for 8” instead, which worked out perfectly. I didn’t leave the opening up at the side near the rounded corner because I had a hard time flipping it to the right side after the fact. I therefore left a 3” opening on one of the sides and it was easy peasy to turn out. And lastly, I not only stitched around the upper rounded corner, but I stitched 1/8” around the entire piece, top to bottom. It, again, gave it a nice finishing touch. I noticed that this is not only good for sun/eyeglasses, but for cell phones too! How clever. Anyway, thank you for the inspiration and for you taking the time to do and post this tutorial. I’m in love with it and am going to go buck wild making many! 😊

[@kyrathomas-moore9945]

I have never seen the sewing out at the turning opening trick before. That is brilliant! Great project, thank you so much.

[@8-bitcentral31]

Just made one for my husband's new mobile phone. Thank you so much!!! Xx

[@mackreynolds4682]

I just made this. The video is clear and easy to follow! Thank you. These kinds of videos can sometimes be difficult because of angles not being optimal for what is happening or jargon that only experts or insiders know. In fact, I watched several other vids prior to this. But, this is the one that I used. My spouse is doing some intensive schooling and asked me to order them something to hold their 3x5 study flash cards. Something not a box, something easy to find in their backpack, at least 15 of them an it would be best the holder were soft- they told me. After scouring shopping websites and not finding what they needed the DIY part of me roared. This, with the pattern tailored for 3x5 card dimensions, was exactly what they wanted. I used both the button/elastic closure and the snap closure. While both of those worked the quickest has been some self adhering Velcro coins. From a very happy, studious major in the Air Force and their DIY spouse: Thank you again for this wonderful and helpful video.

[@lindasegura7838]

I think I would probably use the Velcro. Or a magnetic closer just so I wouldn't have to press to snap. Great idea. Thanks for sharing👍

[@Marla.22]

Love that little pin cup.......so cute

[@conishkee]

6/19/22: I've seen many tutorials on how to make eye/sunglass cases, but this one, in particular, caught my eye, especially because of the flap and snap. I love the two elements. I plan to make one, two or more today, provided the first one comes out to my liking. Thank you so much for sharing this technique. It's great and I'm excited! 🙂

[@seine6]

This is the easiest and best tutorial. I made a phone case using this tutorial a few months ago, and now i need to make a credit card case and I'm so glad I found this video again.

[@breannecarroll]

Great tutorial! Thanks for mentioning the alternative with the bottom and elastic, I’m gonna make this for my mom

[@patriciawhitener3398]

Loved the way you gave the instructions. Nice and slow and no rush. So when I would pause, it was easy to not miss the next step. Nearest looks so beautiful and that little tea cup and such a cute idea. So I will be copying that as well. Thank you.

[@paulasiefert2059]

Great idea! Love the teacup pin cushion.

[@PCOH051610]

Awesome pattern and, like you said, very quick to put together. Your videos are informative, not too dragged out and are quite doable for the even beginner sewers. My first one was a great success and now I’m going to play around with piecing some patchwork, some quilting, different closures, etc. Thank you!

[@standleychantal4880]

A great work. Thank you very much, I love the fact that no sewing is apparent. And the material is very fun.

[@barbaralefevre1476]

what a fast and easy project. thank you so much for sharing

[@Callmeonmyshell13]

Update: It’s been a while since I made a few of these. As some comments mentioned I also noticed this can be used as a phone 📱 holder/case too. I’m thinking of sewing this again for that but I watched your video again to refresh my memory. I think for the closure a will hand sew on a metal snap. In addition I’m going to sew in a shoulder strap so I can keep my phone on me like a small purse. The handles ends need to be sewn onto the sides of the panel with the fleece on it, just under the flap closure. That’s about where you leave that small opening to flip it inside out. Except it needs two openings (one on either side) to pull out the strap when you flip it and sew them closed after the strap is pulled through. One other thing, if making this for a phone, it’s better to cut the fabric a little wider-depending on your phone size. Maybe not as long either. I’m thinking 15 or 16inches, depending on the length of the flap too.

[@donnamcl6134]

Thank you for this video. Great instructions. I bought my grandchildren some funny St.Patrick's Day glasses and made them each a case to carry them in.

[@TheSalmonson1]

I made this to fit my cell phone! Beautiful! Thanks.

[@paulahardesty4449]

you are a great teacher. I love your wonderful tutorials. love them. I am a very new beginner and you make things so easy. thank you thank you for making my weekend!!!!

[@ginacostanzo1056]

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas. I love this! I made one straight away. It’s perfect. I’m blown away how easy it was. Thank you Thank you 🙏

[@jillrigby386]

This was a great tute . The first one I made turned out too big, but I put it to good use as it was perfect for storing my largest rotary cutter. I adjusted the size to 4-1/2" x 17-1/2" and it turned out a much better size for spectacles or sunglasses. I substituted velcro for the fastening. A bit fiddly sewing the velcro onto the body of the case, but I used fabric glue to hold it in place while I stitched it. Will have to try making some with a different fabric on the flap. You didn't give instructions for those, but I should be able to work it out. Thank you.

[@carolentringer8836]

You are a good teacher. Clear directions. To stay in frame, you might try placing painter's tape down to give you a visual frame to stay within.

[@lysianehenot4044]

Merci très bonne idée. Je ne parle pas anglais, mais les gestes sont faciles à deviner.Pensez à bien cadrer pour que l'on puisse voir tous les mouvements.Merci pour votre partage et au plaisir de vous revoir sur votre chaîne.

[@helenwebster4350]

Love this tutorial thank you, I made one for my dad and did an embroidery design on the front. I can't wait to give this to my dad as a birthday gift. My Husband has also asked me to make him one.

[@nancyjohnson7859]

Fewer steps in this great video, looks so much easier than another way I had tried. Thank you!

[@TheOlgamora]

Beautiful project! Thank you for sharing.❤

[@BarbaraCorbin-y8h]

Just came across this pattern and can't wait to make it .looks so easy Thanks for the instructions

[@carolem.9009]

So so pretty !! You must have itty bitty fingers because that opening was so small I couldn't get in there to turn it out and ended up ripping the fabric a bit. So I decided to do the opening on one side where I could make a bigger area, then did top stitching all around the case to give a good finish. I did both a curved top and also a envelope type flap and they both look great. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@wendycortesia4055]

Love this dress! I am heading out to the fabric store this week.

[@janetwood7944]

Thank you already followed this a few years ago but going to make several cases today, and you do a really easy to follow tutorial.

[@judywiggins5092]

[@sheilavermeersch7027]

Great way to use up all those leftover quilting pieces...I've made three already!

[@angelaspringett1262]

These would make great mobile phone cases too😃

[@alcpnmq929]

What an inspiration! fantastc projects, I would like to you sewing now and again as I am relatively new to sewing. Thank you very much. Clive.

[@julievarga6505]

Wow that's the best tutorial I've seen thank you so much really appreciated it i feel like i can actually make it once again thank you

What a great quick gift. Love it

[@police1957]

I didn't have ANY trouble with your video. I made one tonight and it was very quick to make. Thank you!

[@edwinsorensen8250]

This looks much simpler and quicker than other glass cases I have made. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@Marnie1869]

great tutorial. i can see this used for more sizes and made into a lot of nice gifts. thank you.

[@lwebb413]

So easy to follow, thank you, my sunglasses will make to Florida!

[@rebeccap.40]

Just what I was looking for! Thanks!!

[@anisasultana3983]

That's an amazing idea .... lovely !!

[@gloriawalker3226]

I added a belt loop to make my husband phone case belt holster. Very satisfying make! I made two in one sitting.

[@valeriegoldberg7528]

Great video, pattern and instructions. Exactly what I wanted.

[@jeannemahoney6937]

I love that the case has that "finished" look. I have tried this a couple of ways. One with a straight edge, one with a rounded edge and I'm working on one with no flap at the top. My only problem is using a one way pattern. I learned the hard way with my first case that there has to be adjustments made for the one way print fabric. It took a bit to figure out but of all the videos for these cases, this one is by far my favorite. Thank you for sharing it!

[@janetonkin5580]

Brilliant. Thank you. So easy to make

[@deborahanderson200]

Oh, my goodness! That was such a great tutorial! You did such a great job explaining how to make this lovely glasses case with no visible seams! I'm headed to my sewing machine right this minute! I have a feeling I'll be making a LOT of these for gifts (and for myself, too)! Thank you!

[@helenshukla1126]

super cute and easy! thanks Gina.

[@sadiejosiemom]

Very unusual construction method - I never would've thought to do it that way! TFS!!

[@phillisrussell4699]

[@cleotaylor1860]

thank you so much for your tutorial. I watched it and went straight to my sewing room and made one.

[@Marla.22]

who cares?

[@colbylucian6749]

you all prolly dont care at all but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@felipechandler1633]

@Colby Lucian instablaster =)

[@colbylucian6749]

@Felipe Chandler I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@colbylucian6749]

@Felipe Chandler it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account !

[@mek6315]

I will definitely be making some of these. I would never have believed a lining put in like that could work if I hadn't seen it for myself. That was amazing ‼‼

[@paperdogstudios6342]

Thanks for posting this. I made it! YAY. I followed your instructions to the tee and I think 9" may be a little tall unless I missed something at that point. I'll adjust shorter on the next one. Thanks again.

[@shezcal]

Lovely tutorial and so easy to follow, thanks. So pleased to have seen this and can't wait to get started. Love the cute button.

[@BlossomsDogGrooming]

I love your pincushion. You have shared some wonderful tips, what a great way to use Fat Quarter left overs too. Many thanks, Jess

[@tinapoirier3524]

Thanks Gina! I love this idea, perfect for gifts!

[@tracybrewer8237]

I have to say all your work is beautiful and very well made. Love watching your videos. Please keep them coming.

[@esthertrejo8329]

Love your tutorials,, you are very good in explaining everything. Thanks for sharing the sunglasses bag turned out absolutely gorgeous.

[@jeanneweyers2219]

I love the case but I the snap a bit differently. I did the snap on the flap as you did but before the two sides are closed I put the female snap on the facing fabric so when the case is turned the snap is not exposed. Since the snap back is not exposed in the lining it prevents the snap scratching glasses lens. Awesome instructions and easy to follow video!

[@melanieliston4034]

I love them. Thank you ❤

[@sandrahollingsworth2177]

A very clear tutorial thank you can't wait to get started.

[@richardstarling3516]

The tutorial was great, My husband needed a new case for his sunglasses. Julie

[@bredahealy4926]

Thank you for a great tutorial. I made this as a phone pouch for my daughter and grandchildren, 5inch X 17inch was perfect for their phones . I also added a pocket on the front and both a wrist strap and a cross body strap. Now to make one for myself.

[@grandmav]

Very easy and quick project. Thank you!

[@bof.930]

Love it! I just made one. I am thrilled, it was super easy by watching your video. Thank you

[@peach.lambert]

Thank you, I can't wait to make one! I think I will use the button or some velcro. Knowing me, I would push down too hard to close a snap and break my glasses lol

[@hannahjones8992]

Very helpful 👍 Thank you 🙋‍♀️ God Bless 🙏🏻❤️

[@ornelladay2041]

Great Gina. I just bought some cheap readers to have by my sewing machine and other places so this tutorial is very timely. I'm also going to be making a passport holder for a friend so this will be a nice accompaniment!

[@cindywilshire8700]

I just made another 4 this afternoon. I love to have little hostess gifts around when I need something to give

[@deniseschmidt3423]

This is a great easy pattern, I have made a few. The size was great for Sunglasses but I cut the size down for my readers and it still worked out great.

[@quiltingbirdie]

Hi. My case turned out very large too...please tell me, what size did you cut your fabric down to? I would really appreciate the help. TIA

[@astridhaviland5759]

I love your video, those cases are gorgeous, the fabric is beautiful thanks for sharing
