I started the new year slowly, with a quick and easy project.
Hubby got a new motorcycle last year, and asked me to make him a case for his sunglasses:
He's so lucky I found a fabric to match his new bike, and already had a Mod fabric for the lining.
As usual, I started with hand-written instructions:
Here's what it says:
very soft eyeglass case
finished size 6-1/2" x 3-1/4"
1 piece each fabric (2): 4" x 14"
right sides together, stitch ends and around with 1/4" seams, leaving 2" opening (in one side)
turn right sides out
fold in half, right side out
stitch down sides close to edges
Here's the outside:
Here's a view to show the lining fabric:

Another Filler-type Post
I told you recently that the pattern I made for my skirt will not fit the fabric - ON GRAIN:
Instead of trumpet-shaped pattern pieces, this skirt will be made with blocks and triangles. The sewing terms are panels and godets. The panels for my skirt will be rectangles, and the godets will be wedges with curved bottom edges. My panels will not have darts, but my godets will be drafted as shown on this page.
Meanwhile, we've been enjoying the new motorcycle:
I will show the next steps of my skirt soon.
