DIY Sunglasses Case Tutorial

I thought I would whip up a few cute DIY Sunglasses Cases so that I had a pretty place to keep them. 

And in case you were in need of a cute place to store your sunglasses and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t need a little pretty in their life? Here is the tutorial…Enjoy!

DIY Sunglasses Case

2-5 x 7 inch pieces of fabric (outer)
2-5 x 7 inch pieces of fabric (inner lining)
2-5 x 7 inch pieces of craft fuse (I like this one here)

Trim for added prettiness measuring whatever width you like by 7 inches in length. (optional)

Ahh. Okay, so we have the materials to start our summer sewing project! All fabric and craft fuse needs to measure 5 x 7 inches. This will fit your larger framed sunglasses that are totally in style now.

If you have a smaller pair or a child’s pair you may want to go as low as 4 x 6 inches! But check it first…or make a muslin!

First, iron the craft fuse (shiny side) onto the wrong side of your outer fabric.

Next (if you are adding trim!), sew your trim to the right side of one piece of the outer fabric wherever you see fit. You can see I chose the middle.

Then, with right sides together, using a 1/4 inch seam allowance sew the outer fabric pieces together leaving the top (or one short side) unsewn. Clip the corners at the bottom, making sure not to clip throughout the seam you just made! Do the same for the inner lining fabric.

Next, flip the outer fabric pocket you just made so that it is right side out (like in the picture above) and push out the corner at the bottom with a chopstick or an unclicked pen.

Now, take the outer fabric pocket and stuff it gently into the wrong side out (still) inner lining.

Match the unsewn edges together and, with a 1/4 inch seam allowance, sew the top edges together making sure to leave a 1-2 inch opening to flip to inner lining right side out.

Then, gently flip the inner lining right side out and stuff it into the outer pocket (or you sunglasses case now!) Using a 1/8 inch seam allowance sew a top stitch all around the edge making sure to close that opening as you go!

And there you have it, a super quick and totally cute DIY Sunglasses Case just for you!!! (or a friend!) 😉

I hope you have fun making lots of these this summer.

Thanks for stopping by today!
