AugustSummer Getaway Sunglasses Case

August is all about heat and sunshine, with bright, warm days that make sunglasses an everyday essential.

I have a vacation to Seattle this year, and I want to make a sunglasses case to take with me. We'll create something protective, practical, and easy to carry while exploring the city.

Construct the structure and any supporting components.

The structure of the sunglasses case is built from hinged chipboard panels, allowing the case to fold into shape while still opening smoothly. The hinge gaps are what give the rigid panels their movement and create the finished three-dimensional form.

About Stitched Form

One project. One month. One shared creative journey.

Inspired by the season we're living in, each project takes shape through community design votes and step-by-step tutorials. Together we'll choose fabrics, colors, embroidery, and other details before building the project from start to finish.

By the end of the month, you'll have a finished piece that reflects both the season and the community that helped shape it.

Crafting for the season we're in

Instead of racing ahead to the next holiday or season, each project celebrates the one we're living in now.

Whether it's long summer evenings on the deck, gathering with family during the holidays, or the quiet rhythm of winter, every project is designed to become part of those everyday moments.

Built using French cartonnage

Every Stitched Form project is built using French cartonnage, a traditional craft that transforms chipboard, fabric, and paper into beautiful, functional objects.

Instead of learning techniques in isolation, you'll learn them while creating projects you'll actually use and enjoy.

As you complete projects throughout the year, you'll naturally build your cartonnage skills while making pieces designed for modern everyday living.

Many projects also include optional embroidery for those who want to add a personal touch.
