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.
Notice her eyes are half-open. Also, she had a heck of a time getting up on the buffet. Normally, it’s one perfect lunge with one perfect landing. She is very graceful and she loves to pose. A few weeks ago Sweetums finally finished assembling the patio chairs. He had left the parts on a pillow on the settle with all the catnip toys. Got that? And now I’ve got one very happy cat.
