UPDATED: Hi Cuties, I’ve decided to make my ladies a mobile phone holder for my Christmas ladies luncheon this year (along with the other things I made in January). This design is gorgeous by A Stitch A Half. It’s made in the 5x7 hoop on my Husqvarna Ruby Royale. The colour is eye popping red and green. It only takes about an hour. One down 7 to go. Love Chris
3 more done today. I was cooking and forgot a step with the yellow one and I forgot to cut the fabric back after it had the satin stitching in the top front pocket - oh! well it won’t matter too much I hope. Love Chris
2 more done this afternoon - Grey and purple. We went out early this morning and bought a new convection/microwave as mine died on Sunday during Trev’s birthday lunch.
I did these ones right as I remembered to cut the edging off the fabric before doing the satin stitch. Only one to go now.

Thanks so much Patty. Yes, we are thousands of miles apart, but can meet here through our passion for sewing. Love Chris

Thanks Suzanna. I think I'll do a paler blue one sometime over the weekend. Love Chris
18140These are so pretty Chris. I am a bit nervous giving cell holders for presents, although I have made for my dog charity, as phones differ in size.

Fortunately most of my friends have an Iphone 6 or 7 and if they don't use it for the phone, there's plenty of other things that can be put in there. Love Chris

This fits an Iphone 6 or 7 and most of my friends have those. The design is made for the larger phones. Thanks, love Chris
318428That holder will be useful year round, but still says Christmas! I love how strong the colors are and using an all over design will add strength to the holder. Did you use a cut-a-way stabilizer?

Hi Penny, no it is sewn on 2 layers of WSS and there is batting in front and back. You need to cut the batting really close so you don't have any fuzzy bits. I use really fabulous applique scissors by Canary to trim really close. Love Chris

Thanks Vicki, I gathered that most people these days have a mobile phone I think you guys call them “Cell phones”. Love Chris
