Use up some fabric scraps to make this cute, appliquéd eyglass holder.
You probably have everything you need to make one of these.
Use your glasses as a guide for how big to cut.

2. Draw the design. Using tailor's chalk or another removable marking tool, draw the pattern for your appliqué. I went with simple leaves, but use whatever you like. Just keep the shapes fairly simple because you'll be cutting them out later.


 Draw the shapes for your appliqué pattern...

3. Stitch the appliqués. Thread your needle and use a running stitch to work around each shape, sewing through all three layers.


...and begin stitching around each one.

Continue until all of the shapes are stitched.


 Stitch around all of the leaves.
