One for the phone nerds :)
Life has been dominated by Le Bebe and Le Sewing Machine lately! Was working like mad for all of April to get ready for the Martinborough Fair, where I had a great day selling my sewn wares (bibs, baby shoes, cushions and handbags).
So finally I'm back to doing a few things for me and mine at last, along with trying out new patterns and filling a few custom orders from friends and people I met at Martinborough Fair. Currently I'm doing some smartphone sleeves - top one fits a Galaxy Nexus phone (prezzy for the Monseiur) and is made from a recycled suit jacket, and bottom one fits my iPhone nicely (canvas and cotton fabric).
Nothing too fancy, just a basic sleeve. Not 100% happy with the finishing at the top of the cases, so looking out for good patterns with different methods to what I've been doing. Would love to put a pull tab in to help with ejecting the phone, and a closure tab of some kind that doesn't add too much extra bulk/height - that's the next pattern to conquer!
Some of the tutorials I've spotted which have some good ideas:

Some of the tutorials I've spotted which have some good ideas:
- Felt lined sleeve, leaves seams visible inside: http://www.squidoo.com/shanasiphonecovers
- Nice lined sleeve, but has seams on edges adding a bit extra bulk - love the tab and keyring inclusion tho, great idea! http://sewing.craftgossip.com/tutorial-easy-iphone-sleeve/2011/06/08/
- Closure tab and earphone/credit card holder pocket: http://sewcraftyfox.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/iphone-new-tech-still-loves-good-old-sewing/
