iPhone Cozy

iphone cozy

I've been meaning to make a case for my iPhone ever
since I got it about a few months ago. I knew it would
be a quick project but for some reasons it took me
this long to finally get my fanny in gear to start on it.

Making use of scrappy fabric was nice.
I should probably use fray stopper glue around
the edges though before the little penguin escapes.
I really like lazy, slightly off stitches.
Looking at the stitches like this reminds me
that "it's totally ok not to be perfect."

I used pretty thin batting - I should've used thicker one to
make my iPhone cozier. This iPhone case turned out a little
too small to cover the entire iPhone - I should've planned better.

Well, but the fact is I simply adore how it turned out;)
That's all that matters to me since it's mine *smile*

Thanks for reading!

  13. Thanks everyone!!!

    Alia,
    I've never made ribbon labels but I know you can make it by yourself or get them custom-ordered. There are lots of etsy shops that do that for you. You can print on printable fabric to make the labels too ;)

  14. Hi there again. Thanks for responding to me. I shall go on a hunt on etsy. I live in the Middle East so the basic stuff needed to make my own is not available here! I also wanted to ask you how you put your title onto your photo??? If you have time and the inclination, check out my site:

  17. the fraying will sort of stop on it's own but if you cut on the bias or a circle it won't fray much...fray check makes the edges kind if stiff.

  18. Carolyn,

    Thanks so much for your helpful advice! I didn't know that it would help if I cur fabric on the bias! I must try....! Thanks!
