Phone case sewn

Just fancied a change from knitting/crochet I made this phone case. Quilted the body of it and edged it with plain red. I bought the fabric years ago in USA.

Quilting done on the sewing machine but hand sewed the rest.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you. I’m so pleased I’ve inspired someone.

I keep saying i need to make something so I can wear my phone as each one I've had seems to be bigger than the last and they no longer fit in my pockets!
Another thing to add to my "to do" list, but you have inspired me anew. I might try making one with a loop so I can wear it on my belt.

So rude! If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all!

Why do you always post such unpleasant comments?

Probably attention seeking…

Purplepixie, I love that!

When I did my advanced driving course many years ago, the instructor gave me a list of things to carry in the car. It included a tape measure and note book and pen , in case of an accident. I didn’t have such a lovely bag for my emergency kit. No mobile phones then.

Thank you. I’m going to make a Christmas one next.

It's lovely and I'd be happy to receive one for Christmas!

I really like that purplepixie especially the contrasting fabrics. You’re given me just the nudge I need to make an iPad cover, maybe I’ll even try one with a zip like Cossy’s!

I have done one similar BUT i use it to hold the charger in my handbag as I have a dedicated case for my phone. Yours looks very nice by the way

Dodo43 Fri 04-Sept-26 14:34:11

Really beautiful and inspirational!

I have been thinking about making something similar with a strap of some sort. Maybe now I will get on and have a go.
Thank you for posting that 💐

So beautifully sewn! And isn't it lovely to find a use for that piece of fabric you knew would come in handy one day?!

Mjord70 Fri 04-Sept-26 13:48:55

That's lovely. When I realised that for my own safety (to be able to get hold of someone for when I fell) I needed to always have my phone on me I made a phone bag with a shoulder strap. I also realised I needed to have access to my radar key when I was out, so I added a small pocket. I now always have phone, key, pen and a very small tape measure with me. The tape measure was added when I started doing knitting in the car - my husband queried it - but has found we have countless uses for it all the time including when he's buying clothes😂

Thank you.🤩

Lovely! Be nice to have a chain or strap added, so you can wear around the neck.
My pockets are too shallow so my phone slips out, usually in my car 🙄

Thank you. 🙏

What a good idea. Love the fabric!

I love the crazy cat/dog material and the contrast binding, it looks great.
