Present for Grandpa

Well, the weather won yesterday.  It rained all day so, my little photo project got put on hold.  It was however, my father-in-law's birthday and I thought it would be fun to try and sew up a little gift for him.  But the question all morning was, what?  I searched the worldwide web for a little inspiration and came across this great idea over at Sew Fantastic.  A soft case for his shades!  First, I had to go through my fairly juvenile, slightly girly fabric stash and find something Grandpa-appropriate.  I came across some fat quarter scraps by Joel Dewberry that fit the bill.  This tutorial is very well written with nice, crisp pictures so it was easy to follow.  The only tricky part for me was topstitching the pouch opening.  I didn't do the most stellar job but, it came out pretty well.
