Eye Glass Case and Change Purse ~ Sew Fun

This is just a fun and quick little set I put together for one of my website customers. A small zippy change purse and matching sunglass/eyeglass case. For this set I used a fun vintage fabric from the 1960-70's. A small 4" zipper in my stash was the perfect size for the coin pouch, and a fusible fleece scrap was all that was needed to provide the padding for the eyeglass case.

  6. Oh the colors and retro vibe of these is to die for. I hate sewing zippers and can't imagine doing it on a piece that small great job.

  7. I thought I recognized that fabric! I'm pretty sure my mom had a house coat made from it when I was a kid (in the '70's). Very cute! Love the bright colors.

  10. Stacy and Melody - Thank you! I love having an exact date to put with fabrics!
    How fun that you both remember it from 'back in the day'. :-)

    I was very into daisies and strawberries during my 70's childhood, so I keep hoping I'll come across a print that I actually wore.

  12. I just love these little cases. I carry a small coin purse like this is my book bag and have for almost 25 years. It seems like the vintage fabrics are really durable.

    I especially love the colors....remember, I AM a child of the 60's & 70's....lol.
