Can You REALLY Make a Phone Holder from Scratch with Mindful SlowStitching ?

[@lynnhill9163]

Hi, Carol! I love your blue phone purse! Part of the enjoyment for me is the spontaneous way in which you work - you started with an idea, but weren’t afraid to change your mind and try more new ideas along the way. The result is lovely, and it looks very much “Carol”! I’m thinking about trying to make a bag like this for a little portable sketching kit. Count me in for making some “practical things” in this New Year! I liked your comment that we should try new things, and not let a fear of making mistakes hold us back. 😎 I enjoy all of your videos, whether short or long, and sometimes a “stitching hour” is just what I want, so that I can stitch along on something and relax and smile. Cheers! from Lynn in very SNOWY Hallsville, Missouri USA

Hi Lynn Thank you for your lovely long comment. I really didn’t know what I was gonna make when I started and I can’t believe it just fit my phone perfectly. Im always happy to change my mind and as you know, I don’t really plan. I really do wanna make some practical things, but including that maybe some art that we can frame or gift. We will see what happens. So glad you enjoyed the stitching our it just takes that long even with all the editing. (I took out about 45 minutes slightly too long I think.) Snow hasn’t arrived yet here in Bournemouth, lots of rain as usual ! Love and hugs Carol 🤗 🩷

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

I totally agree Lucy thought I would do more useful stitching, I realised that when I went through last years projects. 😁 💖

Hi Carol: Happy New Year! Glad you’re feeling better. Your phone purse turned out so pretty. Not shocked you used lots of blues. 😂 Stay healthy in 2025. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

Hi Joanne happy new year thank you I love how it turned out 😊

[@zahrareaume]

Happy New Year Carol 👋 Last year ended with me having strep throat but I'm doing better now 😊. What a pretty holder for your phone!! ❤️❤️. This is how I would make mine too😊. I made my envelopes for cards this way too, lol. Nice and easy .

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

Happy new year Xahra I’m sorry you’ve been ill but glad to hear you’re on the mend 🩷 nice to know I was on the right track the way I made them ! I was just lucky mine turned out the right size for my phone lol 😁

[@myrarucker7953]

😮😊❤

[@myrnaclifford4902]

What a great idea, I've a few stitched pieces of Slow stitching,. I really like the idea of actually making something out of what I stitch. So far I've I made a carry case for my threads and small projects. Your phone case will easily adapt to a case for my sunglasses. Keep it up you are an inspiration for us all.

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

That's a wonderful idea to make a glasses case ! ! I’m thinking the same I’m keen to make more useful items 😁 still not worrying about perfection obviously 🩷

[@michellesocialbutterfly9517]

WOW, we must have been on the same page. I was wanting to do a pouch, but, an easy one. Just a fun project. I have not painted on fabric yet. I have been thinking about it. Your blue looks like a nice sky. I love the natural colors too, like a rust dye. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Happy stitching in 2025.

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

That is awesome! It really was the simplest way 😊 it’s my first pouch and I definitely will be making more. Yes, we will be attempting to use my painted fabrics in a picture of some kind at least that’s the plan.!❤️

[@sheilahope7007]

Love love your pouch! Just curious what time is your sunrise as you said it gets dark just after 12:30 is pm... ours is 7:30 am to 5:30pm now.. it's winter here.. Happy New Year ❤❤❤

[@Stitchingwithcarol]

Hi Sheila lol the reason it was dark is we had a storm which meant grey clouds and rain etc. actual sunrise is approx 8am sunset approx 4 at this time of the year. Except on rainy days 😁❤️
