just in case

Below is my simple solution to house my new listening device while stitching.

I can hook it right to my scissors lanyard and that way I don't have to wear two things around my neck.

When I need the scissors the chain slides right through the clasp of the case and then back down again.

The case is made from pink leather.The front is painted and stitched while the back is only stitched.

Stitching the leather was not as hard as I thought, although, there was some needle drag. 

 This is my new case for my phone when I'm on the go. I love the vintage glass button.

A new sunglasses case because I'm hopeful spring will eventually arrive....

An eyeglass case is below. 

I really liked making this out of wool felt I had used as a waste cloth on a previous project.  I used Misty Fuse, threads and a painted dryer sheet over the top with flowers cut from silk fusion.  The dryer sheet, I don't think, will hold up over time, but I liked experimenting with this idea for future wall art pieces.

Below is my favorite case which I'll use for my mini sketchbook for the sketchbook challenge.

I'll talk about that another time.

It's been busy here with lots of deadlines on the horizon.

Thanks for stopping by

and

Happy Creating!

beaded lanyards

for-

scissors

glasses

or a badge

 Above,  a few lanyards for sewing friends. 

They include an extra loop which can be used for larger handled nips.

Or can be used to slip eye glasses onto when not in use.

Below is a lanyard made specifically for eyeglasses.

This is a lanyard made for someone to hold her badge.

Below is my lanyard. 

I wear it really long, it drops about 26" or sew.

I have nips on the end and I like them to drop below the front bar of my long arm when I sit of stand.  I don't want the nips to accidentally poke the quilt, keeping them at this long length they won't.

Below you can see the nips that I have on my lanyard. They come with a cap, but I don't use it when I wear them on the long lanyard.

They are  from Superior Threads and you can find them here.  You might find them a little pricey, but well worth every cent!

 I love them.

I loved making these beaded lanyards!
