Cell Phone Embroidered Cover

This simple cell phone cover (slip) was made on felt. I used a design from Anita Goodesign's "Seed Packets" and embroidered the front. I attached a simple felt piece on the back, cut to about 7/8 of the size. I used a straight stitch all around to attach the front and back, and zigzag scissor cut all the way round for an attractive, strong edging.

This can be done with regular fabric of course, but using felt means not only a soft surface for the phone, but also no extra seams on the inside which could add bulk.

The result is a fairly sleek package in spite of the embroidery embellishment.

Toy Bag for all the bits and pieces

This bag was made using my own design. A regular tote pattern is perfectly fine. I lined it with a thin foam so that it would stand on its own. The animal designs were a combination of Anita Goodesign Shrinky animals, to DK Embroidery online patterns. See "Toys" on this website for more photos.
