Cell Phone Cozy

Since getting my new cell phone, I have been very careful to not drop it, step on it, sit on it, scratch it, throw it in a lake, or otherwise destroy it.  However, I'm quickly realizing that I'll need some help.  The kind of help that a cell phone case could provide.  After deciding against buying a case (I didn't find anything fun online, and what's a phone without a happy case???!), I decided to sew one.  A quick online search resulted in a tonne of tutorials.  I decided to generally follow the guidelines set in this one at sew mama sew, although I changed it up a bit to accommodate the size of my phone.  I found two scrap pieces of fabric and some natural cotton batting (to provide a bit of extra protection).  It's been awhile since I've sewn anything, but I enjoyed the feeling of creating something with my hands, despite all the imperfections that I see (and it gave me very fond memories of my dear Aussie sister-in-law, who is a domestic, crafty goddess, and was the person who inspired me to begin sewing to start with).  I haven't decided how I'm going to close the case (either velcro or a snap of sorts), but here's what I've whipped up so far.

And here she is, all tucked in for sleeping......
