5.19.11 ... upcycled reading glasses case

5

on monday, at long last, i found some reading glasses. in fact, because i found them and because they were 4.99 or 7.99 instead of their retail price of $45 or $25, i got four pair in hopes of not getting myself into the predicament i have been in for the past 18 months --- with only one pair that is too big and constantly falls off. and drives me crazy. i started making cases today and here is case number one. it is not completely finished here. i added some groovy buttons tonight and will take another photo for tomorrow's post.

it is made out of an old pair of pinstripe jeans leg and pajamas that had been patched before finally giving out. i wanted to use them because the fabric is perfect for a safe, soft lining. since i love my patches, i trimmed one out and added it on as a front pocket.

below is a photo of the liner and pocket pajamas source. the patch that became the pocket is in the upper right corner - ish.

i also made this vintage bird image playing card bookmark for a customer and included it in with the other goodies seen here...

the papers are a selection of my handmade stickers. 

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
