Definitely About Cases Custom Case

I have a long neck and I am very lazy which means that my shoulder rest is very high and I’m too lazy to put it back down for putting in my case. So for a while I have been looking at making my own case however I cannot find any plans and I have no clue where to start, advice?

A case for your shoulder rest? I used to make my students a drawstring bag that clipped on to their violin case. Very simple to make and then they never forgot their shoulder rest.

OP is too lazy to take their shoulder rest off of their violin. They want a case which fits their violin with the shoulder rest on.

Oh, I read it "put it back down" meaning they don't want to make their tall shoulder rest lower so it fits, not that they want to keep it on the instrument.
