Zippered Phone Wallet

  Sharing some pictures of this fun little zippered phone wallet I made this week.  I'm super happy with how it turned out, I think I am going to make it into a tutorial.  Once I got all the measurements right it was a breeze to put together.   I love the gusset on the side, it's so easy to get my phone or cards out of it.  I just need to find some hardware and I will add the wrist strap..DONE...I picked up the zipper at a craft show yesterday and it was the perfect size and color but they didn't have any swivel clasps.  What are you up to this week?

Linking up my quilty finish in the TGIFF! linky parties this month:

1. • October 18 - M-R @ Quilt Matters
   • October 25 - Jen @ Quilter In The Closet

Just About Finished

I am very pleased with my progress this week, my 2 mini quilts are all stitched up, FMQ and have the binding on!! 

 I do need to actually hand stitch it down on the back.   I am going to hang them on each side of the TV in the living room.  Right now there is big blank spaces that have always needed something.  

I used neutral and brown for the borders of each to give them some unity and my walls are green so they are going to stand out nicely.  

I put corner pockets on all 4 corners so I have hanging options in case it looks better portrait landscape.

A little bit of FMQ

 in the borders with Leah Day's Paisley pattern.

New Laptop Sleeve, a Finish

One more off my to list.....laptop sleeve , check!

I used my Joel Dewberry fabrics from Intrepid Thread and cut up some random strips. Pieced them together with some leftovers from my mini Scrappy Trip Along and quilted with straight lines.

  I cut it to size, added a flap, then lined it with  flannel.

The back with straight line quilting.

Boxing the corners, I used sharpie to mark it...

I had 1 strip at the bottom that I wanted to ensure it landed at the fold, so I marked it with my new Bohin, ceramic chalk pencil.

 Ta Da!!!!

 The finished sleeve!!!   I love how it looks with it's boxed corners, snug fit (on the verge of too snug, but it's gonna stretch, I keep telling myself!) and a very cheery look to brighten my day at work!!

 Here is a picture of Tyson my daughters cat cozying up to the improv rug I made for Christmas. I love his fuzzy belly!!  Yes same fabric....that fat quarter bundle goes a long way and I'm STILL in love with it.

Off to sew a bit, took a vacation day! Yeah, happy sewing, K
