Eye Spy Eyeglasses Cases

Today we are sharing a quick and easy project, Eye Spy Eyeglasses Case! This project was designed and made by one of our fabric designers, Dana Brooks of My Lazy Daisy. Fabrics used are from our Lagoona line, which Dana designed. Make these simple, soft Cuddle eyeglass cases to keep your sunglasses, readers and prescription eye wear protected.

HOW-TO

Simply use 5" strips and cut 18" long. You can use pre-cut strips from one of our Cuddle Throw kits. These kits have strips that are 5",  times the Width of Fabric (WOF), which for Cuddle is approx. 58"/60" wide. Take one strip, cut it into 3 pieces, and you can get three cases made from one strip (with a tiny bit left over)! You might even use strips from our Cuddle Throw kit Lagoona

Fold down about 1 1/2" and stitch casing to feed the metal tape into.

Fold down and sew close to the edge

Cut two pieces of tape measure tape into 3 3/4" cuts. Tape the ends to cover sharp edges.

Feed into casing.  Place right sides together and stitch sides.  Turn  right side out and there you have a quick fun Eye Spy glasses case.

Eye Glasses Cases- all done!
