I really didn’t need one. But trying to text on that tiny keyboard was getting to be a real pain. A touch pad would be so much easier to use. And I didn’t want to spend any more than what my son paid for his. After I got it home and started playing with it, I discovered that I can talk text. What more do I want? Wait a minute! Well, I’ll be. I can talk text, too. Hot damn! All right. I’ll quit acting like an idiot.
They wanted to sell me a case. I said, I’ll make one. I got a very sceptical look. What if you drop it. It will be well padded. The idea that anyone could make something useful was totally beyond them.
I got out the Stiff Stuff. I love/hate this stuff. I hate working with it. I love that it does what the name implies.
I traced around the phone twice. Then managed to cut them out without too much swearing.
Cutting the interfacing took some time.
The wide piece is a pouch for the earphones. It has to have a little pleat. The long one includes the flap. The third is the front. Each piece is about 1/4 inch wider and longer than the phone.
Picking fabric was easy. I got some leftover Rowan fabric.
I ironed the interfacing onto the wrong side of the desired fabric leaving enough space for seams.
And that’s as far as I’ve gotten today. Sweetums is getting hungry.
