Handmade glasses cases - protect your specs!


My previous listings of glasses cases have proved very popular and I've now made another selection for you, ready for the summer. There's a wonderfully pretty postcard and roses fabric and the lovely rosali rose on blue. There are lots of different prints to choose from. These are not designed for chunky summer sunglasses, but they will fit average-sized glasses and sunnies, as I've tried to show. If you're unsure, just send me the width of your glasses, and I'll let you know if they will suit. Or I can make a larger case if you need.


The cases are interlined with a soft wadding to provide that necessary protection, while a pretty, contrasting lining complements the outer fabric. An owl fabric case here is flanked by rose on blue rosali on the left and Cath Kidston's pink paisley on the right.


There is also a yacht themed case and a 'mom cooks' print, which is a lovely Japanese fabric.

Just let me know on ordering which you prefer. Some have an elastic and button closure, others have a ribbon or cord and button.

Gorgeous selection of fabric glasses cases: Treat your specs!


I made my first glasses case a long time ago, after having been guilty of popping my glasses into my bag, because I didn't like the bulky case that came with them. So I made myself a fabric case out of some of my favourite fabrics. It worked well and last year I decided to make some to pop on here. My previous listing (here) of glasses cases proved very popular and I've now made another selection for you. 

  

Each case is slightly different, using fabrics from Laura Ashley, Cath Kidston, and Liberty, but also a rather lovely fabric I sourced in France (the geese!), a fab world traveller fabric, and a very funky and totally adorable cow/farm print I sourced in America. Some are patched from two different fabrics (the rosali check and rosali floral, and the one made from Cath Kidston red rose).
As ever, click on the pictures to see the cases close up.


These are not designed for chunky summer sunglasses, but they will fit average-sized glasses and sunnies, as I've tried to show.


The sides are hand stitched, and they are interlined with a soft wadding. A pretty, contrasting lining complements the outer fabric.


 They all have different buttons - most from my vintage collection. Fronts, picture 1:

  Just let me know which design you prefer when you order. Mention picture 1 or 2 and the particular design you like.


Give your glasses a treat!

Gorgeous patchwork fabric glasses cases


It's been some time since I had a chance to develop something for the shop, and I'd like to thank all those who have ordered and kept me busy. So what have I got that's new?! Having been guilty of popping my glasses into my bag, because I don't like the bulky case that came with them, I decided to make myself a fabric case out of some of my favourite fabrics. It's worked so well that I've designed some gorgeous glasses cases to pop on here.


Each case is slightly different, most are a beautiful patchwork medley, using fabrics from Laura Ashley, Liberty, and Cath Kidston. As ever, click on the pictures to see the cases close up.

A pretty, contrasting lining complements the outer fabric.

The sides are hand stitched, and they are interlined with a soft wadding.

They all have different buttons - most from my vintage collection. One closes with a loop of elastic over the back.

Give your glasses a treat!
