Today this phone pouch is available as a sample. Sold - Thanks!
The lining piece on this pouch ended up a bit wonky because I cut the exterior pieces on the cross grain, so the stripes would be horizontal. By "wonky" I mean the quilting lines are slightly crooked. They started out straight, but things got a little tricky...
Most of the time when making accessories it isn't a big deal to ignore the grain lines (though I wouldn't cut on the bias), but this is pretty small. As I sewed the pieces together, the fabric stretched and the stripes got off kilter. If the corners weren't so close together there wouldn't have been as much stretching--this is where the small part becomes a problem.
I had to go back and resew parts to get the stripes back in line, and as I corrected the outside, the quilting lines on the lining side ended up crooked.
Anyway, I tell you this so you know this is not as perfect as I'd like, and also as a warning to others sewing to be careful when ignoring the grain lines on something this small. If I do this again, I think I'll try stay stitching around the pieces cut on the cross grain and see if that helps.
This pouch is lightly padded with cotton batting and it closes with one of these very cool tuck catches. It is approximately 5.25" high x 3.25" wide.
