More Zip Bags

I made zippered bags as Christmas gifts for my stepmom, my mother-in-law and my sister.  I had a lot of fun making them.  I monogrammed them as I mentioned in this post, and made the sizes for both the 4x4 and 5x7 hoops.

Turtle prints from Robert Kaufman's "Urban Zoologie" line

The set I made for my MIL uses the same print as her phone case and doggy-do bag holder.

Font used for both sets is "Harrington" from 8 Claws

I didn't get a picture of my sister's set, which was made with a cute owl print.  That's what I get for working up until Christmas day...

Monogrammed Cell Phone Case

Last year I made my MIL a purse in black and hot pink, along with a purse roll and in-the-hoop card holder to go in it.

The black & white item is a purse roll

I had some of the same fabric left from the little card holder, so this year I made her a phone case to coordinate with her other purse accessories.

This design is from digiStitches and fits iphones and other phones of similar size/shape.  It's got stippled quilting on the front and allows for the use of a contrast fabric for the monogram frame and lining.

The case on the left is the back of the one I made for my
MIL, when closed, and the one on the right is one I made
for my sister & shows the stippling a little better

I thought about making my brother-in-law one of these, but I would have to make some changes because I think this design is a little feminine.  If I used my embroidery software to remove the stipple stitching and used a different font and monogram frame, I think it would be more appropriate.  Maybe next year...in the meantime, I need to make one of these for myself!
*Note: You may want to check the fit of the phone before adding the snap.
