Smart Phone Pouches

So... After much anticipation I have finally completed the Smart-Phone pouch 2.

Today I completed a variation of the new pouch design:

Tartan Pouch

The back of this pouch is made from a light blue faux-suede reclaimed from Reverse Garbage.

The from of this pouch and the flap are made from a light weight tartan patterned cotton found at LifeLine. The flap secures with velcro.

This pouch fits an iPhone3 with no case. It measures 130mm x 85mm.

Blue and Gold

The second pouch features a gold and dark blue back with a dark blue star and a light blue poly-cotton front and flap. Unfortunately I haven't unpacked my camera yet and the photos I took with my phone made it look an algae shade of green, and I'm just not that nifty with photoshop.

This pouch fits most Smart Phones and measures: 140mm x 90mm

More over the weekend.

Recycled

This Sunday 9th October I will be at the Village Life Markets at Northey Street City Farm from 8am to 12pm.

And for the occasion I have finished three new designs, a smart-phone case, a bag and some bookmarks. Plus I will have more of the gift bows available.

Here's are the first of the Smart Phone cases:

 Dave's Iphone Pouch

These pouches fit an iPhone 3 or 4, iPod, Samsung, HTC's and measure 140mm x 85mm internally.

A sneak peak of the first bag in the new design.. Come down to the market to see the finished piece and to check out the bows and bookmarks.

I also found some fantastic new presentation goodies in LifeLine this week with some help. A great little wicker picnic basket.

To accompany this I have spent today making some signs and decorations for the stall. There will be items from $2.50 to $25, so bring your pocket money.

Summer Blossoms

So this week has been a little slow but summer is on it's way.

I went out with Jo to see help her collect some butterfly host plants. Most of them were still only small but my favourite from the day were by far the Paper Daisies.

I also have been collecting ties lately for a new project. I have a couple of favourites in there, and I will be bringing them out soon.

I got some gorgeous fabric this week and whilst feeling a little bit girly I made this:

Summer Blossom

I'm not very girly but I am really enjoying the lining fabric, the large floral design is great for this spring/summer weather. The back is a bright thick purple cotton with a faux-suede magenta front featuring a matching purple pocket and a pink nylon zip.

This pouch is available on my new Made It shop.

More Pouches

I have found that a problem with having a phone that takes photos along with a camera is that photos go "missing" or in my case, I take photos on my phone and forget about them.

As you noticed in the photos from the exhibition I made up a few more pouches:

Orange Pouch

This pouch is made from orange corduroy from one of my favourite pairs of trousers, the front is dark grey denim with orange and yellow floss. The lining is calico and it features a vintage white metal zip. 

You can also see my brand new pricing labels. I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

 Burgundy and Gold

This pouch was made from a 10 kg rice bag. They have some pretty interesting designs and they're nice and sturdy. The other side is burgundy and gold upholstery material, it has a black lining and a midnight blue nylon zip.

Blue and Green Stripy

I received a lot of positive feedback about the original stripy purse back in August and so I thought I would play around with some more of that material. This time I appliqued a faux-suede star on the front and used a bright blue upholstery material for the back, it still features the same turquoise lining. 

Just before I left for Thailand I noticed that I had no purse to take with me so I grabbed the original version from my box of goodies. I travelled across Thailand for three weeks with the purse on me at all times; it went through the ocean several times, through numerous storms and generally had a bit of a rough time. I gave it a wash when I got home and it has been in my pocket or bag ever since. It is small and flat enough to carry just my license and some notes, but on occasions I do add in my lip balm, house keys, some coins and a few other cards and there is still a fair bit of room. So sorry to everyone who had their eye on it, but I have claimed it.

Smart Phone/MP3 Player Pouch

I am a little upset that I didn't get a photograph of the back of this, the front is made from some lovely material that my mother used to make my baby clothes out off with some added bright green buttons and the back is bright green thick cotton curtain material that I found in a charity shop in early August. The lining is calico and the zip is dark blue nylon. The back of the purse also features a hole for you to thread your headphones through so that you can zip the bag completely and pop it in your pocket or bag.

I do apologise for the quality of the photographs, these were just rough shots I took to send to a friend for their thoughts and I never got around to taking proper photos before I submitted them to Reverse Garbage.

For those of you in Brisbane these are available at the Reverse Emporium, 20 Burke Street, Woolloongabba until the 22nd September.
