Members tboyce Posted November 4, 2014 Members Report Posted November 4, 2014 Zikman asked me to help him with a case for sunglasses. Here's the pattern. It seems to be pretty self explanatory.Printed size is 11x17 Sunglasses case.pdf Quote
Members denisfilatov Posted November 5, 2014 Members Report Posted November 5, 2014 thanks man! Quote
Members billybopp Posted November 5, 2014 Members Report Posted November 5, 2014 Thanks for another great pattern ( and all the others as well). It's very kind of you to help us all out like that!! Bill Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted November 6, 2014 Members Report Posted November 6, 2014 Thank you!! You should collect all of these in your gallery. Quote
Members zikman Posted November 6, 2014 Members Report Posted November 6, 2014 I meant to say you're welcome to post this for all. I see you already have. Thanks again! Quote
Members tboyce Posted November 6, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) That was the deal. I will make you a pattern but, if you want to make it proprietary, you have to let me know up front. Sorry if there was any confusion...and thanks for providing us all with a pattern. My part is easy compared to coming up with the overall design :D Edited November 6, 2014 by tboyce Quote
Members jqtoms Posted November 7, 2014 Members Report Posted November 7, 2014 Sweet. Another Christmas gift for family! I will be making this one out of Horween Russet Horsehide!!! Thanks Tboyce. By the way, I have been posting in other places about your generosity; I am very grateful! Quote
Members tboyce Posted November 7, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 7, 2014 you're welcome Quote
Members jqtoms Posted November 10, 2014 Members Report Posted November 10, 2014 Over the weekend. Sunglass case made of Horween Horsehide and a mini messenger. Quote
Members tboyce Posted November 10, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 10, 2014 Thanks for the pics! Quote
Members JanC Posted November 10, 2014 Members Report Posted November 10, 2014 Can you post interior photos with glasses inside? Going to attempt this very soon. Quote
Members jqtoms Posted November 10, 2014 Members Report Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) I will try to get it uploaded later. Edited November 10, 2014 by jqtoms Quote
Members MonicaJacobson Posted November 11, 2014 Members Report Posted November 11, 2014 Nice! Now I really want some of that leather... Quote
Members veedub3 Posted November 11, 2014 Members Report Posted November 11, 2014 First thanks tboyce for the pattern!! Here is my version I made last week for my own personal use. I have to say the case is a tad tight. I have two pair of eyeglasses, (everyday use, and a dressy pair). The everyday use pair measures 5 1/4" in width and it is really snug but doable. The dressy pair measures 5 3/4" and barely fit at all. I made mine from a scrap of milled vegetable tanned leather I had lying around and decided to go with a strap closure instead of a snap closure because I didn't want to chance scratching the glasses, and really didn't want to line it. When I get a free moment I am going to remake this case but I am going to slightly increase the size of the pattern so that it will fit both sizes of my eyeglasses. Karina Quote
Members tboyce Posted November 11, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 11, 2014 I love seeing these pictures. Tell you what. I'm socked in at work right now but, later in the week, I'll have time to devote to it. If you enlarge the entire pattern, the lengths between the stitches will enlarge as well. I'll do an updated pattern that is a tad bigger but with the stitch holes still being 1/8" apart Quote

When playing with the pattern I noticed the size could have been an issue. My daily sunnies measure about 5 3/4" and I didn't think it'd fit. I love seeing these pictures. Tell you what. I'm socked in at work right now but, later in the week, I'll have time to devote to it. If you enlarge the entire pattern, the lengths between the stitches will enlarge as well. I'll do an updated pattern that is a tad bigger but with the stitch holes still being 1/8" apart Thanks! Is there any way to enlarge the current template? I'd be poking my own holes anyway. Quote
Members tboyce Posted November 11, 2014 Author Members Report Posted November 11, 2014 Sure. I enlarged it twice. The smaller one is 10% bigger than the original and the larger one is 15% bigger. If that will do, let me know. Otherwise I can enlarge it againboth print outs are 17x11 Larger Eyeglass Case.pdf Quote
Members JanC Posted November 11, 2014 Members Report Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you! I'll give it a look when I get home. Quote

Members AdamTracksler Posted January 3, 2015 Members Report Posted January 3, 2015 I just made some. Second stitching project, and I'm unsure about the edges. It's 3oz lamb skin. Second pic. Quote
