Today I am sharing my tutorial for a zippered sunglasses case over on the Therm O Web Blog. What is great about this zipper pouch is the lining is made of flannel so it is soft on the lenses. I love this fabric – it’s the “blue” version of the Clementine fabric by Blend. It screams summer to me.
Here you can see the gray flannel inside the pouch:
For the zipper pull, I took apart some owl earrings and used a split ring to attach the owl to the zipper pull. I always am on the look-out for cheap dangly earrings!
It’s not too late to sew up one of these in time for Mother’s Day. It should only take about 30 minutes!
For a slightly different version……
cut a 1″ square notch out of each corner of the bag when it’s in this stage:
Open the notches, and match the seams, sewing a 1/4″ seam. This gives the bag a “bottom” and allows the pouch to stand up. I can’t decide which one I like the best!
tutorials are great, but I hate sewing zippers. lol. but I have favorited this post and will have to try this.
Thanks for sharing,
Debbi
