Vintage phone case crochet

Here's a little project I've been working on recently:

Vintage phone case

I cannot take any credit for the thought process, design or original idea in any form. I simply fancied making a case for my phone, Googled an image search and found this at Cult of Crochet.
'Well,' I thought to meself, 'I love it AND I have exactly the same coloured yarn in my stash! Game on.

It was very simple to make: (click on the link for exact details)
Crochet a rectangle to fit your phone or gadget, and include button holes. This pattern used a version of grit stitch, which looks fab.

I then blanket stitched a piece of vintage curtain fabric to the inside:

Then added some vintage buttons, stitched the sides, et voilĂ !

A little case for my little and very non-gadget-tech-basic mobile telephoney.

Happy days.

  16. Hello I've found you through a few other blogs and I'm a new follower - I love your blog! Going to have a proper read now but I love the stuff you've made, especially like the little doll. I'm just learning to crochet and love reading other people's blogs so that I can fantasise about all the lovely home things I can make some day! Trouble is, I spend too much time on the internet and not enough time 'making'.
