Phone cover!

I'm really pleased with how this turned out, considering it was from scratch.

In the end I put velcro dots on the tabs and sewed buttons over the top, it seemed the best solution to having a nice button but not having to try and undo something fiddly in a hurry to answer my phone. I found two buttons in my box that were the same colour and had the same sort of powdery iridescence but with different shapes which appealed to me. I like the rose on the front best, it sort of echoes the stylised flowers in the fabric. Well in hindsight it does, I really chose it for the colour and because it was neat ;) Mat looked at it admiringly last night and said "tackorama!" I'm choosing to take that as a compliment.

On to the next thing which is a pair of flanelette pyjamas for Hazel from the Oliver+S pattern. Although it's still pretty warm here it's cooling in the evenings and autumn will be apon us before we know it I think. It's been a very long summer this year - started early and seems to be going strong, but it can't last forever! I love this stage of making something up, it's so full of possibilities...
