\"Hippie<\/a>
Hippie Specs in flowery vinyl- 3\/4s view<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I originally bought the Hippie Specs case pattern<\/a> because I wanted to try making a clear vinyl eyeglass case. I know it wouldn’t be super secure in terms of protecting the glasses. Still, I had the image in my mind and wanted to try it. <\/p>\n

I came across the roll of flowery vinyl<\/a> when I was putting away a new roll of lavender vinyl<\/a> that I bought to make a Pandora Allure<\/a>. I talked to my niece about it and she said she loves that flowery vinyl, so I decided to make her a glasses case that matches her pencil pouch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you can see, the pouch didn’t quite come out as intended. \ud83d\ude09 It is different, more three dimensional than the others<\/a>. I sewed the seam bottom wrong. Still, maybe it can be used as a glasses case or some other kind of pouch?<\/p>\n

One of the things I wanted to test was how the inside would look if I didn’t include a lining. I am a little bit of crazy person about not having the zipper tape show. I swallowed that need and went for it. <\/p>\n

I’d prefer to have the zipper tape covered, but the inside doesn’t look too bad. I sewed really carefully when doing the top stitching. The top stitching looks pretty good. I also bound the inside bottom using foldover elastic. <\/p>\n

I am going to try making another one sewn as the pattern shows. I have plenty of the flowery vinyl and no plans to use it for anything else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
