📍DIY Summer Eyeglass Case – Free Pattern Download!

Summer is here—and so is the sunshine! ☀️ If you're anything like me, you probably find yourself constantly misplacing your glasses (especially when you're switching between sunglasses and readers). So I thought, why not make a cute little eyeglass case that you can wear around your neck?

Eyeglasses Case

It’s practical, beginner-friendly, and perfect for those summer outings. Plus, there’s a touch of applique, which you can either needle-turn (like I love to do!) or use the press-and-sew method. Small pieces? No problem—use a dab of glue to help keep them in place while stitching.

💡What You’ll Learn

• Simple patchwork piecing

• Easy applique techniques

• Adding structure with interfacing

• Making a neat strap with D-rings and swivel clips

• Finishing with a snap button closure

✂️ Materials You'll Need:

• Exterior fabric (quilting cotton works great)

• Lining fabric

• Medium-weight fusible interfacing

• Snap button

• D-ring and swivel clip (aka ห่วงคอหมา)

• A 2" wide strip for the strap (length as you prefer)

• Optional: Fabric glue for applique

🧵 Quick Tutorial Highlights

Here’s a peek at what you'll do:

• Add a sweet applique (needle-turn or glue + press, your choice!)

• Fuse medium-weight interfacing to the back of your main fabric

• Sew panels together, leaving a 1.5” gap for turning

• Turn it right side out and press

• Add a snap button about 0.75" above the center edge

• Make the strap: Fold a 2" strip in half twice, press and topstitch

• Thread it through the D-ring, stitch to secure, and you’re done!
