Sunny Sunglass Case

Greetings friends! The BRD studio has been buzzing with new ideas and projects...and my desk is covered in creative ideas, new designs, sketches, piles of paper, product swatches/photos, and a giant planning calendar. All of this has me hopeful, encouraged, and excited for Blue Ribbon Designs. 

Today is new project tutorial day - time to share my May project created for the Therm O Web blog with you. I always enjoy putting on my Fabric Education Designer hat and creating new projects/tutorials using incredible products from Therm O Web. For the month of May, the blog is focused on home decor, garden-themed projects, on-the-go cases and organizers, and gifts for graduates. I created a brand new project that was posted on Monday - it is a complete project tutorial for my "Sunny Sunglass Case." My comprehensive tutorial contains a complete supply list, printable templates, and step-by-step directions with color photos.

This pretty and protective case for your sunnies is quick and easy and uses minimal materials. It is a perfect afternoon sewing project and works great with scraps and/or your favorite fabric collection. HeatnBond Fusible Fleece makes it soft and sturdy and the HeatnBond Lite EZ-Print Iron-On Adhesive Sheets make the applique super simple. Print the template shapes directly on the HeatnBond Lite Adhesive using your inkjet printer (no tracing required!). I used some bright and cheerful colors of Benzie Design Wool Blend Felt for the appliqué motifs. A happy summertime project that is easily adaptable and makes a great gift that can be personalized for any recipient.

You will have to visit the Therm O Web blog for my complete tutorial and pattern, but I am posting a few photos here...

You will be surprised how quickly this pretty and practical project comes together. It is perfect for using up those scraps and small pieces of fabric - I opted to use the Keep Shining Bright Collection by Anne Rowan for Wilmington Prints and Chambray Tonals from Connecting Threads for the cases and Benzie Design Wool Blend Felt for the appliqués. For this post, I used the following Therm O Web products:

  1. These are so adorable and fun, dear friend. With summer just around the corner, what a fun item to create and gift or create and toss in the beach bag/tote or summer purse. Well done!

  2. What a perfect way to use that sun fabric - your appliqué is perfect! Good project to use some pretty fabrics to store our “cheater” glasses we need for stitching, too. I think I might give this a try - thanks!!!
