read to the bottom to see the contest rules.
Yesterday I had to get out my button stash to find some buttons for a project. I also decided to make myself something real quick to give me a little break.
I decided to make a case for my iphone, I got a free case but I don't like using my phone with a case on it, but I do feel some anxiety about scratching it or dropping it. I wanted a sleeve so when I put it in my bag I don't have to worry about getting it scratched.
I used some felt from my stash, I have some really great 100% wool felt I picked up at a thrift store years ago. I just cut a 5 inch strip, folded it and then cut the height I needed, sewed one line, put my phone in and marked where I needed to sew the other seam, sewed it and then trimmed it.
I added a strip and sewed on a button to make a closure, but I probably didn't need that, I sewed it pretty snug. I just needed to use a button!
I love making things from my stash, hoarding supplies for a few years means I have just about anything I need on hand.
**I have a double dog dare for you (and I'm actually curious), to name a craft supply, or sewing notion or anything like that from any kind of crafting technique (you don't have to have it, so think broad!). I am daring someone to name something I don't have. Maybe it will help me fill the holes.
I will come up with a little something (maybe from my stash!) for the winner(s). Let's just see how it plays out.
Let's be reasonable, I'm not going to have an anvil.
ps, let's say I'll name the winners on Jan. 31. Think hard!

I love the iPhone case! I might need to make one for my iPod Touch. Love it. Oh, and I doubt I have any notions that you don't have!

ReplyDeletedo you...have buttons with porcupines on them? maybe i should go for something like really shitty quality wool...since you picks such lovely supplies.
do you have a fork for crocheting hairpin lace? my mother-in-law got one for me last christmas in hopes to teach me, because she remembers crocheting like that as a little girl. i'd never even heard of it before!
