Here is a quick and easy gift to make for summer – a sunglasses case!
I found the free pattern here at Riley Blake Designs. It was written by Melissa of Polka Dot Chair.

There is a download for the pattern piece (which comes in two sizes). At first I thought I could print it from the “preview” but it wouldn’t size right. Once I actually downloaded it, there was no problem with the sizing. Duh!
The directions call for a 7″ zipper which I did not have. Mine was 14″. I added a fabric covering to each end of the zipper leaving only 6-1/2″ in between and cut off the excess zipper.
I used ByAnnie’s Soft and Stable for the padding. This is a product that I have enjoyed using in a variety of bags I’ve made recently and I had scraps that were big enough for this little project.
I used the leftover zipper pieces for the zipper pull and a tab coming out of the side that I will put a clip on.
I made the larger size because the niece I’m gifting this to has large sunglasses. I’m pretty sure that most adult sunglasses would fit into this size case – whether the glasses are large or small.
Now for some fun in the sun!
