The Eyes Have It

It's Shameless Commerce Tuesday, and today I'm featuring a newly-listed padded eyeglass case from my Etsy shop, Pasque Flower Creations.


I found this cute spectacle fabric by Robert Kaufman when my little quilt group took a road trip to Omaha last month.  Love the houndstooth check background.  I wanted a padded case, so I used fusible fleece.  The eyeglass pouch is fully lined with black Kona cotton.  I also added a little black tab at the side. 



The soft eyeglass case measures approximately 7.5 inches by 3.5 inches (19 cm x 9 cm) -- roomy enough to accommodate sunglasses or oversized reading glasses.  The case was made based on Stitched Sunglasses Case tutorial by Jill of www.createcraftlove.com.  Visit her blog for LOTS of fun ideas.  I added a capped metal snap to keep the glasses from "spilling" in a purse or beach bag.
Your specs will stay safe and secure inside this cute little pouch.

I plan to make more of these for my Fall craft fairs.  I think they would make great stocking stuffers, or gifts for hard-to-buy-for music teachers, grandparents, uncles, etc..  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!

    1. Thanks, Edi! I hope you're right!
      I might add some personalized ones on a tiny gray/white chevron print.

    1. I hope you're right. I'm planning to buy more of that fabric -- also in gray houndstooth. And I'd like to make some with tiny gray and white chevrons that I could personalize.
