cell phone cozy

By joining the 21st century and the cell phone technology, I needed a cozy for my touch screen phone. I cut a cuff from a felted sweater and used it for awhile until I decided what to do with it.
Today, I knew what I wanted to do....

Here is the cozy opened...

A few squares (i couldn't cut a diamond. How do you cut an elongated diamond?)

And a few machine stitches...

A seam on the inside, which I serged. score for sergers. Can you tell I'm still excited about it after a year?

And you get a pretty pile of phone cozies to give to your friends. Yes, Char, you can have one. Whatever is left over after Michele chooses. unless, I see you first?!!?

Oh, the back. Don't forget to show the back.


Thanks for looking,

cell phone holder

K, still on a sewing kick here.... I do have some new Stampin' Up stuff to play with, so i will make something papery in time. But when I go to clean up the sewing stuff, I'm inspired to sew something else. So I must follow dear muse (or obsession).

Here is a little cell phone holder I got from a pack of bag patterns. It doesn't have a lining or show any hem lines, so I repurposed some fabric. My son has a ton of pants with holes in the knees. I've saved them to make shorts. bonus: I get to keep the bottom of the pant leg. there is already a hem. Yeah. Loving my snaps. So easy to put on and looks professional. Took my hubby a while to catch on that I actually put it in there myself. I feel a few crochet flowers will be added here.


And I also tried a beach bag! It is rather large! Perfect.


here you can see it compared to the smallest bag i've made.


And here it is open. There isn't much fabric on top, as I didn't have enough fabric. but I did manage to make it a draw string. next time, I will make the extension larger. And I want to add a few ribbon pieces to put a hiking clip for keys, water bottles, etc. Maybe even a little cell phone holder as above.

it's a rainy day here today. i have a little princess changing her clothes and accessories and the neighbour's son is playing cars and Thomas on a few mats with my son. Ah, content children. entertaining themselves.
