In this Designer Showcase tutorial we will be sewing the quick and easy Raccoon Case from Pink Pony Designs. The Raccoon Case was designed as a sunglasses case but is perfect for pencils, paint or makeup brushes, or for keeping loose items organised.

The case is flat when not in use, but the padding from the batting keeps your glasses or items safe in your bag when you're not using them.” Finished Size: ~3 1/2" (8.5cm) wide and 7 1/2-8 1/2" (19-21cm) long.
