I love buttons
Posted by myhand on July 25, 2008
My dad had bought me a new cellphone. I wanted it to start my blog, as my old one doesn’t have a camera. Here it is :
It is a slide cell. I want it to be in a good condition for long. Hence, i made this grab, and there was no a specific design in my head. It all appeared up while sewing it by my hand. I’m waiting the machine still ( but seems it will take long to have it hehehehehe). Actually i don’t have any tools for sewing, i used a black color pencil and part of an old jeans. Because i don’t know any stores selling them plus it’s too hot now. But i saw the machine in one shop and dad promised to buy me it. This is just the beginning. You don’t learn how to write and talk unless you learn ABC.
Now lets start by measuring the jeans with our Mobile’s size. Then cut it larger, in order to cut it again correctly then a space to sew it. I’ll depend on pictures most of times, you may not find some writings before few ones.
Here we go…
Sew the long side and one of the short ones, that will be the end.
Cut half of the part that will be for the floded part.
Don’t sew the side till the end of it, leave a space.
This is made to flod it inside then sew it.
And sew it the way you like.
Cut 8cm long, and about half cm from the side.
After that, sew it. But i made a mistake as this is jeans fabric, means that threads will show up later, so it’s better not to sew it from the side as i did. Sew it from up-behinde then down.
Next, sew it at the end of the floded part.
The first button is for just decoration, while the second to be able to close the grab.
I saw that one button was not enough. Consequently i added another four. Two are having the same color.
Finally after ‘four’ hours, i finished it. It would have been finished in 30m. if i have the machine. But let me be a patient girl.
This is a picture of it after One week of use.
I’ll make another one as soon as i think about the design. Thank you for following.
