Here's mine (and earlier ones if you'd like to see). I got the two leaves at the bottom a bit too big, but I don't care enough to rip them off and redo. I tried some decorative stitching across the background this time, and I like the way it looks. Plus it can't hurt that it also makes the felt sturdier. I have been using it inside my purse for a couple of days and I LOVE IT. Not having to dig for my phone is golden.
I'm working on making this available as a gadget cozy pattern. This size fits my phone, my husband's Blackberry and his iPod. Maybe a choice of two designs for the front, a larger and smaller size, an optional pocket in the back for those earbuds, and a button closure at the top. It would be make an easy and useful handmade gift to anyone who has gadgets to keep up with. Stay tuned.
I hope all the US citizens had a lovely and not laborious Labor Day. I'm getting that squirmy feeling that comes when the air and the light changes ever so slightly -- fall is coming. My favorite time of year! (Thanks, Kaye, I didn't know Canadians celebrate Labour Day on the same day as our Labor Day (minus the u)! Learn sump'n new every day.)
I echo the love of fall! The cell cozy is a fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, this is very pretty - love it! And we had labour day here in Canada too; it was soooo nice to sit around all day and not do much of anything. Although running around trying to find a store that was open so I could buy toilet paper was not as fun!
ReplyDeleteLove it. Can't wait to see the pattern comes out. I have an iPhone, so I like it that the iPod fits. Hard to find one that fits iPhone!
ReplyDeleteYes please! I would love a tutorial on this...so cute and functional.
ReplyDeleteI am still using the black case that my blackberry came with to keep it protected in the madness that is my purse/diaperbag, but it is SO UGLY! I would love to make a yummy cute case for it:)
larissa! this is so pretty! I'd love to not have to dig through my stuff to find my phone. love the leaves and the extra stitching detail!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYes, please! I'd love to have this pattern - so cute!
ReplyDeleteOoooo...I love this one, too. Great colors. You are thinking fall-ish, aren't you?
ReplyDeletecute! i'm glad you got around to making one for yourself. :) I hear ya on the fall thinking. Just put up my door wreath this mornin'.
ReplyDeletedarling. Just darling!
ReplyDeleteEveryone, thanks so much. Y'all are alwasy so sweet to comment and I love the feedback. iPhone, check.
ReplyDeletekaye, yes, love a holiday but not without TP! ha.
Robyn, yes. I've even got my yellow wreath on the door and my synthetic pumpkins out. it's bad.
I love your cell cozy!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to make one but never really looked for patterns, yours is so perfect, it's chic!
love this project! I think it looks cute having a couple of leaves at the bottom that are a little bigger. :)
ReplyDeletei will miss summer, but i do look forward to fall. this is so great, love the colors and so cute too!
ReplyDeleteLove it! That little hanging strap is clever and I like the irregular quilting. Just made one for myself too, with a button, but wish I'd left a spot to plug in my earbuds. May have to try to add a little "button hole" on the top to fix that.

Fall is my favorite season too
Muito lindo!!!!!
ReplyDelete:)
I'm gonna need to make myself one of these for my iphone which I'm constantly dropping.
ReplyDeleteDo you think you could ever do a post on all your (wonderful) fabric resources? I mean, Ikea, we know… but a list of others would be MUCH appreciated! :)
Love your blog!
Hey, Sweet T,
ReplyDeletethere is a list of my fave online fabric places way on down in the left column toward the bottom. Around my town, we have a Joann and a Hobby Lobby and that is pretty much it. I live within an hour of some really fabulous textile warehouses, but I don't get up there much because those are mainly decor fabrics.
I just came across your cell cozies from the 30 Days of Handmade blog. I am currently stitching one up myself (with my own designs of course!). LOVE!
