The Raccoon Case is a clever, super quick and fun to make little case, started out as a sunglasses case, but works for everything from pencils to makeup brushes. It's a great scrap buster and you can use layer cake leftovers. It is a FREE pattern available for download on my website: https://www.pinkponydesign.com/product/raccoon-case

4:15 Baste the layers and quilt (I often use a fusible web instead of glue or pin basting as I like the stability I get from the fusible web, it's been excluded in this video to lower the amounts of materials needed, however, it does give a lovely, crisp result with a light fusible web when using cotton fabric for the exterior, such as Heat n Bond Lite).

I hope you will enjoy this easy and quick to make (less than an hour to make) little case as much as I do, it's a perfect, quickly whipped up gift. If you want to make a raccoon case using #5 zippers, I have a video with tips for that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MKb9mNqoLM
You are most welcome to sell items made from my patterns, this is a great cheap item for craft fairs and similar. Many people will love to buy a matching sunglasses case with their new handcrafted bag too. I hope you'll like my video, please let me know what you think in the comments!
