For this quarter’s challenge I made a cover for my phone because it was embarrassed to be seen in its temporary cover – an old trainer sock.
I put down 4 fine layers of white merino wool then rolled it until it became very firm pre-felt. Inlays from a scrap project were placed on it to make the design for the front and back of the phone cover. I then rubbed the felt from the back, so as not to disturb the design too much, until it was fulled.
When it was dry I added wobbly stitching, cut the felt to size, then stitched the pieces together.
You may have noticed that there are only 9 finger-holes in the dialling ring instead of 10 and I’d like to say that it’s artistic licence but in reality I simply ran out of space!
I made a fabric lining …
… to complete the phone cover.
The cover will protect both the screen and camera lenses when the phone’s knocking around in my handbag 🙂
