Droid Cell Phone Case (front) |
Backside |
Well, I finished the case for my new cell phone tonight. I found the tutorial for the case at Sew Mama Sew a few days ago. I thought I was going to have to alter the measurements for my phone, but luckily, I didn't have to! This is great because measuring/math is not my forte. That sounds terrible for a sewist doesn't it? I'm getting better, but I've been very guilty of "eyeballing" my measurements in the past. I now pinkie swear I will no longer do this...Anyway, I'm pretty happy with my results. My new "Droid" phone (I'm not sure what that means) fits inside perfectly. I used a fabric from Tina Givens' Free Spirit line called Rachael for the outside and decided on a pale pink flannel for the lining. I thought this would be softer on the phone, which it is, but it also makes it a bit bulkier since there is also a layer of batting. I will definately make more of these since they don't take a lot of fabric and it was a pretty quick project from beginning to end. Maybe I'll change the closure on the next case I make. Maybe velcro or a snap? What do you think?
Just one more thing. Awhile back I signed up to receive newletters and discounts from Simplicity, McCall's, Vogue, and Butterick. I usually get two or three of their adds every day. I got one from Vogue a few days ago and just opened it today. In it I found their new collection. In this collection is one gorgeous dress. It is Vintage Vogue 1171.

Your "droid" case is really cute. I was asked by a woman to design a cell phone case and once I got it all finished, she didn't like it! So, end of story! LOL!!!
I.LOVE.THAT.DRESS.!!!!! The vintage-inspired one. That is gorgeous...just wish I had a figure like that! *sigh*
And, OMG, you are so right...hello, Mrs. Roper! That's the worst dress pattern I've ever seen - I think! Who would wear that?
XOXO,

I know! The second dress is beyond awful! I can't believe it is part of Vogue's new pattern collection??? I just don't get it! (Wish I could wear the vintage dress, too)
I carried my cell phone case today, but it really wasn't very practical. I'm going to have to come up with something for quicker access to my phone! It is hard enough for me to hear, but now it is under three layers of fabric!
I'm really inspired to start on a quilt since I read your post from the quilt show. They are so beautiful! Sidenote: I might have had a meltdown if a lady would have scolded me for taking a photo, but I don't have much patience anymore. Oh, and those hexies are adorable. I really want to try that!
Take care!

oh yes angela back in the hey days when I was just 17 ahhh!!where was I oh yeah !! I made two of those one for me and one for my cousin we got some nice jersey knit fabric of pale peach and it had wittings on it in french le fluer someathing like that my cousin had just come over from france and visited when I was living in oregon at the time we wore them around the house we thought we wer so coooool LOL
Vogue 1811 is lounge wear and not a dress. I have several of these caftans that I wear around the house after my bath at night. They are so cumfy.
