My next door neighbour asked me if I could make her something she could wear around her neck that holds her mobile phone. Apparently her family gave her something a while ago but it is leather and very hard to get the phone in and out. "Let me have a think and I will get back to you within a couple of days" was my response.
A quick search of internet revealed a few different ideas so an idea was taken from this site and another from that site. None of the sites that I looked at had neck straps only a clip to attach to a belt or handbag. So it was a matter of cutting a strap long enough and attaching it to the O ring.
Another order for an entree plate sized cosie came in a couple of days ago. I have been told that this size is good to reheat takeway containers in as well. It will be delivered later on this week.
A new book was started last night. I have read most of Liane Moriarty's books and enjoyed them all with the exception of one. This one is starting off well.
Now that I have caught up with the items that have been ordered my aim is to finish off the aprons that have been cut out, put through the overlocker but have not progressed any further than that for a couple of weeks.
Green has been the nominated colour for this month's RSC and there are plans to sort this lot of scraps out.
And hopefully they will end up as bibs along with the pink slabs of fabric from last month that are still just sitting there waiting patiently.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all

That was certainly a lovely neighbourly thing to do. Great Job too...
Love using bowl cosies...& yours are pretty.
EnJoY the upcoming weekend too...xox
Perfect mobile pouch and maybe another great item for the stall??
Nice cosy…
Enjoy your book.
How good of you to create a phone carrier that met your neighbor's needs.
Have you been keeping track of how many bowl cozies you have made and sold?
Your machine would have enjoyed that little spa treatment after all the work it has been doing... well done on the phone case.... looks great

Great idea for the pouch. Oh my. Poor machine. That was a bit like mine and it sure did make a difference.
Your wee phone case is a great idea. Thats a fair bit of fluff, but like you say, your machine has been very busy in recent times. Have fun with your green scraps.
Well done with the phone pouch......
I did remember to give me machine a clean out last week....... Was better then what I thought it might be but still messy under there........
Clever you with the phone pouch. Looks very practical as well as pretty. Oh dear, so much fluff! Your machine has been working hard.
It's amazing that your machine hadn't protested with all that fluff! You'll have orders coming from all over soon.
