Gettin' Stitchy


I've been trying to get more organized with my calendar, bills, etc., so Andy gave me his Palm PDA to use. It's been really handy, but of course it needed a cute little case. Last night I decided to make it something cute to wear. I just found a scrap of pretty quilting cotton I had and some canvas I had leftover from making the diaper bag. I ironed all the edges under and stitched it so you could see the layers of fabric on the side. Does that even make sense? Anyway it's super cute and took my about 10 minutes to make. I'm not really liking the velcro on the front and I will probably change it to another type of closure, just not sure what yet.

After stitching that up and seeing how easy and quick it was, I was up all night thinking of things to make. I'm going to whip up some Christmas presents this weekend and try to refine some of my design ideas. When I get all my patterns worked out I'm going to open my own Etsy shop! I'm hoping to have a lot of cute little pouches for mp3 players, phones, and PDA's, as well as a line of tampon and pad cases. Who doesn't need a cute tampon case right? I'm also going to be making some seasonal things like fabric Christmas ornaments and stockings. I'd like to make fun sock monkeys and animals, but I'm trying to stick with things that don't take a long time. I have a short attention span ya know? :)
