Default Eye glass case

I am looking for a tut online that shows you how to sew an eyeglass case. This one you sew two pieces fabric together to form a tube, one outer fabric and one lining fabric. Then somehow you just turn the fabric and the lining just folds into the case. Really neat. Please advise

Search online for 'eyeglass case to sew' and you will have many patterns to choose from. One may even be the pattern you are looking for.

I use pot holders. I have the oversized sunglasses that fit over my glasses. Just sew up the end and side and it makes a nice case. Lots of patterns to choose from.

I just so happen to be working on some of these for charity right now. The pattern is from Instructables.com . Type in eyeglass case, and the one you are looking for is the second one listed. I am making 2 sizes. One out of 7 inch squares, and the bigger size is made from 8 in. squares. Good luck. m

Thanks Tymia! That is too easy. I wouldn't need it to be reversible, so think I would add a snap at the top to keep the glasses from slipping out.
