A Little Something for a Little Something

So, what do you do when you face a problem and can not buy a suitable solution to it? Well, if you are like me, you craft your way through it! What was the problem, you may ask...well, I am continuously turning on the internet or other random functions on my phone while it is in my pocket. Of corse these acts go unnoticed by me until the phone begs for mercy in the sound of an annoying beep that lets me know that the phone is going to die, and soon. Oh, by the way, I LOVE my phone! So I went on a quest to find the perfect holster for my phone, only to find that, well, I could not find one. Oh, there were some available, but they were so blah! So, what is a crafty person to do but make their own!

I chose to make this holster out of 100% cotton yarn with a few stripes running through of fun fur. I added a loop and button for secure closure (I teach Preschool and one never knows) and a loop to the back to thread through my belt. I will also have a clasp that can be added to the back loop so this can strapped onto a purse handle or belt loop. I tried it out today, and I LOVE IT! My phone did not get accidentally turned on and it was near by (no hurried searches for it).

I showed this to some of my co-workers and they loved it. I already have orders to make three more! Not bad for a project invented to solve my own frustration!
