The Insomnia Project

Do you have nights when you just can't get to sleep? Last night was one of those nights, so I headed straight for my sewing room to work on a project.  Finish the border of a quilt? Nah.  Etsy orders? Mmmm. No. Wait, what's that? A little pile of Marmalade scraps. Right about then my phone buzzed, and it clicked. My new phone needs a cute cover!

I googled to see what I could find, and found this super cute tutorial. I pulled my scraps together and got to it. I followed the tutorial exactly, and the only thing I changed was not adding a handle. Next time, I would make the button closure about an 1" shorter. My phone fits perfectly and I had fun making it!

Please remind me to stop drinking iced coffee before bedtime and tell me that you sew/quilt/knit/crochet when you can't sleep :)

    That's a very cute phone case. I usually knit when I can't sleep because it's quiet. Sometimes I read because I have a Kindle with a lighted cover.

    Very very cute, and yes, I too forget that iced coffee is actually coffee sometimes, haha! Me, I crochet, drink tea and eat toast in the middle of the night :)
