As you can see, the cell phone case is finished. I sewed the snaps inside the lining so a phone can be secured inside, then whipstitched the lining to the NP outer case. The final touch was adding narrow trim to hide the join. I deliberately let a bit of the lining show above the trim to add to the interest.
I'm happy with how it turned out. The video doesn't show the sparkle well (it is almost blinding in the full sun) but you can see the color changes from the beads in the above.
Do you think the new owner will like it? LOL

I think she will absolutely love it, Jane! I hope she has some appreciation for your stitching talent and creativity. I love the sparkle and the beading really makes it pop. Great job!
ReplyDeleteJane, this is absolutely the coolest thing I have ever seen. You're the best!
ReplyDeleteI think that the new owner will love it -- who wouldn't. I will have to make sure that my sister doesn't see this or she will hound me for one. LOL!
ReplyDeleteMissy, they don't take too long to make and after all, Christmas is coming!
ReplyDeleteRobin, I'm glad you think this is cool but the acid test is pictured above, playing with her brand new phone....
ReplyDeleteMelinda, I do hope she'll love the phone case but even if she doesn't appreciate it now, perhaps she will when she's older.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I want one. Yes, I know, I can make one. But how to fit it into my rotation, which hasn't rotated much of late but will soon.
ReplyDeleteAdded bonus: listening to the crickets at Chilly Hollow in your video!
ReplyDeleteAt least the Great Horned Owls and Pilliated Woodpeckers were quiet!
ReplyDeleteApplause, applause! Yes, it is a perfect fit!

ReplyDeleteShe will love it and so do I. As usual the colors and stitches are perfect. Your my inspiration and look forward to coffee and your blog and pictures and hints and tips each morning. As Robin said, it's way cool!!!!
