Stand-up IPhone/Ipod covers


This is something I pinned on pinterest that intriqued me.  I use my Ipad for recipes and tutorials, leaning it against something so I can see it. I was seeing what a handy idea this was also for a phone.


This is a free tutorial from Made by Marzipan.  She also has many other tutorials that look very good.  She writes out the instructions and has a video also.


It's the kind of project to use those small scraps on.  And I have lots of those.  This blue fabric was a dress I made for one of my twin daughters when they were very young.


 On this second case I made some adjustments.  I put elastic on.  It was hard to get the Iphone into all 4 corners in the first one.


 I think I would make the bottom corners still a little more roomier.


 I put buttons and a buttonhole on instead of snaps.  I thought it would look better.  I does take a little maneuvering to get it buttoned.

  1. What a great idea. I use my android phone for recipes, to read books, etc. Would be very handy. I think I'll be making a few of these! Where you used the button hole and a button, perhaps it could be further refined by using hat elastic into the seam, rather than a buttonhole, that would enable it to be closed rather more easily?
    thanks for posting about this!
