Patchwork Glasses Case PDF Sewing Pattern

Use this PDF sewing pattern to make two sizes of well padded patchwork pouches to use for your sunglasses, readers, prescription eyeglasses, phone, or whatever else fits inside.

These zip top pouches have a layer of fabric, batting and muslin for each of the exterior pieces and each of the lining pieces. This gives a total of 6 layers of materials on each side of the pouch.

Dimensions in both Imperial and Metric are given for the patchwork pieces and the layout to sew them together is provided.

These can also be made without the patchwork. Simply skip steps 2 - 5 and prepare a piece of fabric for the front the same way as the exterior back and lining pieces are made in step 6.

Each size will hold items up to 5.75" wide x 2" high x 1.5" deep ((146mm x 51mm x 38mm).

Instructions for making a zipper pull with a bead are available here.

The pattern is in PDF format and is available for instant download once your payment is processed.
