a sunglasses kind of day

... not today, but yesterday,
look how gorgeous it is:

(north everett looking east over the water plant)

so I cleaned up my sunglasses and realized I need a new case for them
I found a very very easy tutorial for this zippered pouch on Design Mom
(link is HERE)


it took five seams and only 2 of them are visible
I used scrap oilcloth fabric from sewing up lunch bags,
batting, lining fabric, and a zipper I never used from another project
15 minutes easy peasy (if you sew)

and look at this little beauty:


a crocus in the sunshine - is there anything sweeter?

Yes, it was a beautiful day! Love your eyeglass case too. I sew, but isn't that fabric difficult to so on? Very clever, love it!

Elizabeth said...

Cute bag, what's not to love about oil cloth....and one as sunny and yellow as that. I saw that you were having sun, how nice. xox

oh the joy and beauty of colour! That first photo looks like a painting and yet it's the "real deal" and wow it has an impact!

I love the flower and the sunglasses case speaks of sunshine, sunlight and warmth! All of which I am craving as we crawl towards the end of February.

Nice! Oilcloth is wonderful, isn't it. Is that a little bug peeking out from one of the flower petals. You caught him just right. The colors of the flower are just gorgeous. :)

You lost me a zipper ! I am a straight line or mostly wonky lined kind of sew girl.
Love the crocus. Gives hope...
Happy Thursday !

you are so lucky to have both sunshine and a flowering crocus!! That is a gorgeous view, and seeing the flower makes me smile. It is 20 degrees here today, 10 tonight, yuck...I am growing impatient and weary!
