DIY Polka Dot Eyeglass Case (15 Minutes)

 I am so excited about how this project turned out. Not to mention, how incredibly easy it was to make! I spent a total of $0.50 on the felt fabric and I had the white thread on hand. I am one of those blond eye lash girls who cannot drive, walk or even step foot out into the bright sun without a pair of sunglasses. It seems as if from time to time, I leave my glasses in the bottom of my purse only to find them scratched by the random, loose objects like coins or keys. Well, look no further! I have created a simple, easy project for the most beginners in sewing.

I was out shopping at Hobby Lobby this weekend and in the craft isle I found a cute pink polka dot piece of felt. The felt was 2 pieces for a dollar, so I picked two pieces up. If you are using a fabric that has two tones, you will want to select thread that matches the lighter of the two colors. Here my fabric was pink and white, so I decided to stick with white thread. Plus, I had it on hand. This project takes 2 seams and very minimal supplies. It could be easily produced by hand if you do not have a sewing machine.

Materials Needed:

• 1 piece of felt (50 cents)
• matching thread (I had some on hand, but it would cost $2.75 from Hobby Lobby brand new)
• scissors
• needle/sewing machine

Fold the fabric in half and trim to the size of your sunglasses.

Fold the fabric in half and sew along the bottom about a 1/4 inch from the edge. Leave one end open.

Clip the bottom of the eyeglass case corner.

Fold the top down about an inch and sew a 1/4 inch seam.

Flip it inside out and ta - da! You have a brand new eyeglass case.
