Mini Project: Sony MP3 Case

Evening everyone! 

What have you all been up to recently?

I was going to post this a couple of  days ago, but I never got round to it, what with making all the blankets and what not. Busy, busy bee! 
Be warned -  The pictures are a little bit dull I'm afraid. 

So here it is! Sadly I can't remember the pattern for it as I made it up as I went along. 

I do know that it is all in single and chain stitches. 

I managed to roughly make them the same size which I am so happy about, as I made one for Mr. B and his was a pain to do, but I eventually did it in the end. 

I decided to do the sides separate this time, compared to the first one I did where I did it in one long, stretch and then stitched it all the way around. It looks much better like this...

And it looks a lot neater once all sewn together! Quite proud of myself really, it's nice and snug so it wont fall out either! I was going to make one for my Kobo but I can't seem to find it anywhere :( Which I am gutted and a little worried about, I'm sure it will turn up somewhere!  

*Crosses fingers and toes*

So here we have it! Was a nice quick and little project to do, there is a hole in it, simply because I was going to make a fasten on clip form the back with a button but then I couldn't be bothered as I felt it looked cute already! 

Will post again soon! 

Happy Crafting! 

Much love, 

Goldfish Case

Hi everyone!

I know what you're thinking, a case for an actual Goldfish?!

I am happy to tell you that it isn't, it's just the name I have decided to give it as I felt like the colours went well. Infant, I might make a blanket out of those colours for myself :D 

Don't you think the colours are just beautiful? 

Oooh I could squeal I'm so excited about them haha 

I decided to make up a pattern, in all honesty it's not too great but next time, it shall be wonderful!

Mr.B asked me to make him a case for his new MP3 player, it's not your average MP3 either. It's like this big industrial expensive one, and trust me, even I wouldn't want it to get broke. 

The pattern consisted of: 

Chaining 12 and then turning the work around, doing a treble crochet into every chain stitch. Continually turning over your work as you go and doing this to the desired length and height. I used a 5mm hook

I think I did about 28 rows altogether, I then just used the folding method and just sewed up the left and right sides. 

I know that the stitching isn't that great around the outside but hey ho! I'm still learning and will get there the next time I make one. I did make a button but he decided he didn't want it, which was a shame cause it was so cute! So here it is! it fits nice and snug, which is what he wanted the design to be and it's not safe and has a little home! 

I present to you...

The Goldfish! 

Much love as always,
