iPhone cases

This previous week has been all about MacBook and iPhones cases for me. I’ll get to the MacBook cases in my next post, because they turned out to be a real pain in the ass challenge…

There were basically two good reasons why I decided on making those iPhone cases: first of all I finally managed to clean out my studio which really was a good thing to do, because it had become quite a mess. I couldn’t believe how many little pieces of fabric I found in all my drawers and boxes, and the only chance to save them from being tossed was finding a way to make something out of them. That’s how the idea with the iPhone cases hit my mind ;-)
I've also been making a lot of new wallets lately and to provide a little bit of variety in my daily routine I felt like trying out some new designs.

I wanted to keep it really simple, no closures or anything, just a slim case, where the phone is safely protected. I tend to drop things, I know how important that aspect is...!
To make it easier to get the phone out of the case though, I added a strip of ribbon, put it through a small opening in the back of the case, and through both lining pieces. That way, the phone kind of “sits” on the ribbon and if you pull the tab, the phone slides out of the case and you can easily grab it.

All I need for those neat little phone covers is a piece of ribbon, a bit of interfacing and four pieces of fabric, 5.5 x 3.5” each. That way I can use almost every inch of my precious fabrics  ;-)

More of those iPhone cases will soon be available in my shop!

A really slim case where the phone fits in perfectly.

Note that these hands are not mine! But it was really cute how Chris agreed to be my hand model for that shoot ;-)
