An easy project - phone cover

Just back from a lovely week in Northern Ireland!  Great weather and so lovely to see so many family and friends.  It always goes too quickly...!

Apologies for another phone cover so soon after the last one!  This is quite a different phone cover from the last one I made, as this is a sewn phone cover.  Handmade Jane had a lovely phone cover tutorial on her blog, and I fancied a go at something quick and easy after sewing so many clothing items recently.

I had some fat quarters sitting in my stash, some of which I bought in America, and this seemed like a great project to use some of them.  I used fabric from two fat quarters, plus some medium weight interfacing and velcro.  The only thing I needed to go out to buy for this was velco, and now I've got a little roll of it that will keep me going for a while.

This is a great little project for beginners - you only need to sew in a straight line - but also good as a little distraction if you fancy a little project to do in half an hour or so.

Crocheted phone sock

This is a cute little project which I did in the car on the way to see my in-laws at the weekend.  It's a really quick crochet project which I found on the 'All about Ami' blog.  As with most people, I always have my phone close to hand.  I did always intend to get a cover for my phone, but I never quite got round to it.  I've had this one for almost a year now and it's managed to accumulate it's fair share of bumps and bruises.  I've seen a gorgeous sewn phone cover, which I plan to have a go at soon, but in the meantime, I thought I would just do some quick crocheting on my trip north.  Here's the fruits of my labour...

You might recognise this wool - I also made my mug cosy from it.  I just love how bright and cheery it is!

I like my phone to be peeping out of the top of the sock - makes it easier to slide in and out - but obviously just a couple more rows would cover the phone completely! I'll probably do a final bit of prettying up this cover with a little button - as well as choosing a nice wool, you can do lots of customisation to make this little phone cover your own.

A pretty and easy way to keep your phone protected!
