Tutorial - Make an Upcycled Jeans Sunglasses Case

Upcycle old jeans pockets into a sunglasses case with a useful pocket

Tutorial at Pillar Box Blue Blog

"The sun is shining and my shades have come out. I’m fed up of damaging my sunglasses when I’m not wearing them, so decided to design a really handy case for them made from upcycled jeans. Mind you, this is no ordinary sunglasses case. As well as looking great it sports a killer, pocket feature for items such as money and cards.  This project is easy to make and uses the often neglected part of upcycled jeans, the front pocket. When nipping out to the park or the local cafe, I just take my sunglasses in the case instead of lugging my whole handbag out with me. Theses cases also make a great handmade gift".... Read more

Tutorial at Creative Khadija Blog

"IPhone cases and pouches are available in different designs and materials, I have been making for my smartphones and gadgets mostly. I seriously find it easy to handle. Well, have you ever tried foamic sheet crafts? They really look pretty and easy. Once I bought some colorful sheets of foamic material. I used some in making document files during studies, but others were saved in my crafty stash!

Tutorial - Clear View Case for Crochet Tools

See hook sizes at a glance with this crochet tool case

Tutorial at The Inspired Wren Blog

"I loved my previous crochet hook case. I loved it because it was crocheted for me by my kid sister. I loved that I could see at a glance the size printed on each hook. I loved that it had a center pocket for other crochet tools (scissors, tape measure, and the like). And I loved that it matched my project basket. But I also hated my previous crochet hook case. The hooks fell out of it so easily that it barely did its job. (Sorry, Kid.) I decided it was time to replace it. I wanted a new case about the same size as the old case; a case that would contain the hooks in a way I could still see the sizes and also have space for the other tools. I solved my problem by sewing my own case out of canvas and clear vinyl, and now you can, too".... Read more

Tutorial - How to Make a Double Eyeglass Case

Hold two pairs of glasses, phone, ipod, or whatever else fits

Tutorial at Jillian Hollmann Blog

"I got started making these when I went by an eyeglass store with my upcycled eyeglass case (made using fabric from old clothes and a paper towel tube) and asked the owner if he wanted to sell them.  He declined, explaining that people expected a free eyeglass case when they bought glasses, but said he often had requests for a double eyeglass case from people who wanted to carry around their glasses and reading glasses (or sunglasses) in one compact case.  "If you can design one of those, come back to me!"  he said. After numerous experiments, I came up with a case that is compact yet roomy, and practical yet adorable! It's a bit more complicated to make than the typical DIY eyeglass case, but (in my opinion) the added functionality is worth it" Read more
