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.
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.

Bead necklaces for girls are a great addition for fashion and play. There is so much available online and in stores as far as choice is concerned. Enjoy the process of buying - you won't know what to choose from the amazing products out there - and relax while you bead for your children, grandchildren or to give away as gifts.
For boys who like beads, dark reds, browns and greys are fashionable. Beads and charms can also be threaded on cord or leather for a more masculine tone. Beads can also be used to add as an embellishment onto bags, backpacks, bedroom lamps and soft furnishings. Here are more necklaces from my handmade collection. ![]() Using shiny silver fabric, I used an in-the-hoop design of a tag - outline only - and then embroidered the names of the children, and the festival, on the tags. I placed a back layer of the same fabric after I had embroidered the name so that the back would be smooth. I used pinking shears for one effect, and a satin stitch edge on one of them. The silvery side should reflect tree lights and add effect to the tree. Of course the same thing could be done for Christmas, but it is so easy to access Christmas decorations, while Hannukah embellishments are not so easy to find. |
AuthorSewing, machine embroidery, paper-craft, and stamping are my hobbies. At the moment die-cutting paper craft is my favorite, and I am sharing my projects with you on this website. Archives
