Back to School IS the 

Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

For someone who always loved going back to school and getting all those new books for the year I had to make some book sleeves for those new books to slip into. The great thing is that even though many schools are going the way of electronic tablets to read the material on, these book sleeves are equally well for protecting them!  

Introducing our NEW Padded Book Sleeve PDF Sewing Pattern that is also great for Tablets

As you can see by the size of these things they will fit most books, tablets, even small laptops.

 This is the perfect gift for readers on your gift list!

You can make a whole set for every reader on your Holiday list and don't forget yourself. Personalize them by choosing fabrics that appeal to that friend or family member.

It is a great way to use up some of that favorite fabric you have been saving for....something! You can toss these Sleeves into a big tote bag, your purse, etc. They are stylish enough to carry just your book along with you when you want to head to the Shire, I mean Park, or coffee shop...

Which ones would you like to make?

You can even carry video games and cartridges in these!

Make yours personalized by choosing what fabric you want to carry.  Isn't that one of the most fun things when making your own items? And it is so much more cost effective. Have fun in the sun this summer with friends and family during these extra daylight hours!

4girlsdesigns Glasses Cases PDF Sewing Pattern

This is a PDF sewing pattern, not the finished product. You can make three styles of glasses cases with this pattern. You can have Ruffled or pleated trim, Pockets, Reversible or Quilted styles and even button/flower embellishments. There are also three sizes: reading glasses, regular eyeglass/sun glass case, slightly larger quilted case. These cases are great for glasses, sunglasses, and rotary cutters. Store your sunnies in style! Add your own flair with a special button flower trim.

The cases require only fat quarters for both outside/lining and scrap pieces for ruffles. They contain an inner-lining of cotton or bamboo batting to protect those glasses from bumps or scratches. You also get detailed instruction on making the button and fabric flower trim.

The pattern is available to you immediately after purchase so you can pay, download, and sew today! Due to the nature of these patterns, there are no returns on PDF patterns.

The pattern is 25 pages long with full size pattern pieces for you to print out on your printer, then pin to fabric and cut out. Measurements are also given for the pattern pieces. You will get detailed instructions, photos/diagrams to explain each step to complete your project.
