In between my Christmas crafting I’ve been making the odd thing for myself. I’m terrible at buying fabric and all kinds of items which I just never get round to using. This is one of those projects. I bought all the equipment but took ages to actually get a needle out and start. I bought the cross stitch iPhone case so long ago I actually imported it as I couldn’t find any for sale in the UK!
I love the idea of customising an iPhone case. It’s the one item I have near me all day (besides the children) so I want it to look good and individual. Anyway, I cross stitched a stem print design on the back of the case as it’s my favourite Orla Kiely design. I really love it. Shame my 10 month old dropped it soon after as the screen cracked and I’ve ordered an iPhone 5 which won’t fit in this case.
