Sunny {Sewing}

I buy a lot of sunglasses - cheap and cheerful ones usually because I keep forgetting my sunglasses but cannot live without them - my eyes are very sensitive, really it is not just for the look ... Unfortunately they are that cheap that they come without a case. And then Lucy used this tutorial, and I knew I had to make a case - I am quite attached to my sunglasses, cheap or expensive. 

This is a Baby MiH nap time project. In fact I probably spent more time choosing the fabrics than making it. I wanted a fabric that said sun, beach, holiday! The Outside Oslo Dusk Skiff represented all that (my interview of the designer can be found here), and of course the canvas weight is perfect for something that will be tossed in my bag all the time. I am not sure what the lining fabric is but it is matching, and so is the thread (my facebook followers will know I was very pleased about this unexpected surprise!). 

I did not change anything to the tutorial, I may have made it a bit more snug than suggested because I was worried my sunglasses would come out. There is no chance of that now. 

It is a super fun and useful project.I also got my head around adding lining to a case - which may come in useful for a future project I have in mind..
