This design was embroidered as a sample to test working with metallic thread.  I was so pleased with how it turned out, I decided I had to make it into something.

I was limited to using the small piece of fabric the embroidery was on.  I designed the eyeglass case because I could do it with the small amount of fabric I had available to work with.  I chose a fabric from my stash that complemented the embroidery design for the lining and sides.

As I was designing the case, I realized that with a few tweaks and careful attention to sewing, it could be reversible.  So that is what I did.

The embroidery design is one that comes with the Bernina 790 machine.  The white fabric is a cotton canvas with a stabilizer.  The bright pink fabric is lycra swimwear fabric.
