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.

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.
