We sew a case, eyeglass case with our own hands. Do-it-yourself spectacle case made of leather: a master class with a photo Do-it-yourself spectacle cases for women
Glasses are not only a fashionable accessory at all times, but also one of the essentials for many people. High-quality and beautiful sunglasses or eyeglasses for vision correction are not cheap by modern standards, so this fragile accessory requires a very careful attitude. Naturally, manufacturers care about their customers, so in any specialized store you can see a fairly wide range of covers and cases for glasses. But despite the high functionality, they are all made according to the same standard and cannot boast of a special originality of the idea. It will be much more interesting to make a case for glasses with your own hands, especially since with the master classes presented in this article, this will not take much time.
Floral applications
A master class on making such a felt glasses case will be very useful for those who want to make an original gift for elderly family members, because it often happens that they have to search for their shackles all over the house. The bright colors of the case are visible from afar, and this will help you keep your glasses in sight.
To create a product you will need:
- a small piece of dense felt fabric of a bright red hue;
- pieces of felt in green and yellow shades for leaves and flowers;
- threads of two colors - green and red;
- sewing needles and scissors.
The shape of flowers and leaves can be created according to patterns by copying the drawing of the picture you like, or you can draw these minimalistic flowers yourself:
After that, we measure the length and width of the glasses themselves. Cut out a piece of red felt. Its length is equal to the length of the glasses plus an increase in the seam, and the width is twice the width of the glasses, to which we also add a little freedom.
From green felt we cut out the leaves - two single and one triple, with the help of a thread with a needle with green stitches we form veins on the leaves.
From the remnants of the red felt, cut out small circles and sew them into the middle of the yellow flowers.
In total, for the application you will need two flowers, three leaves and three berries made from yellow and red circles superimposed one on top of the other.
We place all the decor elements on one half of a large red piece of felt.
Flowers and leaves should not be placed close to each other, but at the same time they should not be scattered around the edges of the case.
We sew yellow flowers with stitches with a red thread at some distance from the edge or with a sewing stitch over the edge.
You need to try to ensure that all stitches come out the same size. We attach the leaves with green threads.
We outline the location and shape of the stems, then we lay chains of stitches along the marked lines with green thread. We fill all the ends of the threads and fix them on the wrong side of the product.
Lastly, we connect the sides of the case with a stitch over the edge. If you have the skills, you can speed up the stitching process by using a sewing machine.
The original present is ready!
Also a great option for a gift to a grandma or grandpa would be an owl-shaped glasses case, as in these photos:
For discreet and stylish
This classic black leather case looks great. Even novice needlewomen can make it in a maximum of one hour with the help of step-by-step photos. Thanks to the universal color, it will suit any style, and both women and men can use it.
The case will require the following materials:
- a piece of thick black leather;
- kapron or reinforced thread in color;
- scissors;
- lighter or matches.
To begin with, we cut out a rectangle of leather of such dimensions that, folded in half, it matches the size of the glasses and there is still a small margin for ease of use.
Stepping back a little from the edges, with an awl we make holes at regular intervals.
Then we pass a needle with a thread into the holes, connecting the edges with stitches.
We leave the upper edge open, fasten the end of the thread with a knot, cut off and melt the tail with a lighter so that it does not fray.
Everything is ready!
With magnetic closure
This wonderful case can be made with your own hands from cardboard as a gift for a gentle and romantic girl or woman.
To make such a case, you will need:
- hard cardboard with a thickness of at least 2 millimeters;
- white sheet of thick paper size A1;
- a piece of colored cotton fabric;
- several types of glue - ordinary PVA and universal Moment;
- construction (painting) adhesive tape;
- magnetic fastener for the bag;
- pencil, ruler, stationery knife, brush, thread with a needle, scissors.
First you need to cut out the components of the future cardboard case with a clerical knife.
This diagram shows in detail the design of the case and the dimensions of each part.
According to this scheme:
- a = 16.6 x 7.6 cm;
- b = 17 x 8 cm;
- c = 16.6 x 6 cm;
- d = 6 (at the base) x 7.8 x 7.8 cm;
- h = 7.5 cm.
After that, you need to duplicate each detail twice, cutting out the same shapes from white paper. For sides "a" and "c", the length of the paper parts on the outside should be four millimeters longer.
We cut the sides of the parts at an angle so that the finished product has even joints.
Triangles need to be attached with glue at a right angle to the base.
Coat three sections of part “a” with glue and securely fix it between the side parts, with the cut side inward.
When assembled, you should get an external right angle.
On part "a", two sides "d" and one side "b" we glue white paper parts.
We cut out pieces of fabric in order to cover the sides of the parts "a" and both "d" with them. We glue the case with a cloth, leveling it with a stack, cut off the excess, glue the corners.
On the inside of part “b”, we cut out a recess for a magnetic fastener.
Cut out a single piece of fabric for parts "c" and "b". For the “c” side, glue a separate piece of white drawing paper, glue three of its sides with a cloth. We fasten it all to the base from the “c” side.
We fix the clasp on the case with glue Moment. We glue the inner sides with a fabric of a contrasting color, having previously placed paper details.
Case can be used!

I used to think that glasses cases are needed only for those who carry glasses with them in their bag, so as not to break or scratch them. I bought myself glasses for working at a computer, but refused a case (although they offered me), put them near the computer and soon realized that even those glasses that are at home need to be stored in a case to protect them from dust and accidental scratches. I thought that since I didn’t buy it, I’ll try to sew a cover myself and found a very interesting idea - to sew do-it-yourself case for glasses from a tie! Fast, simple and beautiful! Class!

Glasses are a rather fragile product, as their lenses can be easily scratched due to careless handling, for example, if they are left in a bag with keys and other things without a case. To avoid such troubles, you can sew a glasses case in one of your favorite ways with your own hands, described in this article.
How to sew a case for glasses with a clasp with your own hands?
Clasp is a reliable clasp, which is most often used when sewing wallets. However, it can also be used for other purposes, for example, as a clasp on a retro-style glasses case. This eyeglass case, made of fabric, looks very stylish, and also reliably protects its contents.
For its tailoring we need:
- a flap of dense fabric for the front of the eyeglass case and fabric for lining;
- clasp (8.5 cm);
- threads, pins, needles, scissors;
- sewing machine.
- First of all, we will build a pattern on which we will sew a case. To do this, on a piece of paper, draw two straight lines intersecting at right angles.
- We apply the clasp in such a way that two points of the arc are on the horizontal axis, and the vertical axis passes through its center. We circle the clasp on the inside.
- From the extreme points we measure one centimeter horizontally, from the upper center point we draw lines to them.
- From the resulting lines, we draw two more axes down so that they are parallel to the central axis.
- We apply glasses to determine the desired length of the product. The corners of the lower part are slightly rounded. The pattern is ready, it remains to cut it.
- According to the resulting pattern, we cut out two parts for the front side of the case and two for the lining. If the fabric is thin, then it should be glued with a sealant.
- We fold the parts with the right side to each other, connect with a machine seam (we do not touch the upper part).
- We sew the upper edge of the case, leaving a couple of centimeters for eversion. Turn it inside out and sew the remaining edge.
- We sew the clasp with strong threads.
