iPhone Case!

So most of my days go something like this:

Cut paper. Fold paper. Put paper in nipping press. Punch holes in paper.

Cut leather.  Punch holes in leather. Sew books. Put buttons on books.

Photograph books. Post books to Etsy. Pack books. Mail books.

. . .

I’m usually doing one of those things.

Every once in a while I come across a day where there isn’t too much to do.

I’m either waiting for a shipment of paper or leather or just everything has been done.

. . .

Today was a bit of a day like that. So, I began to experiment.

. . .

Here’s a little background:

Most of the time when I go out and see something that I like in a store,

90% of the time I don’t buy it.

Most often these four words come out of my mouth: ”I could make that.”

This usually happens because the item is too expensive for my budget.

It also happens because I’m crazy, and actually think

that I could probably, at least sort of, figure out how make it.

(And it helps me not spend as much.)

. . .

Most often I forget about these things that I could potentially make, and move on.

Today, I decided to make one of these things.

I wanted to make a little case for my iPhone.

. . .

Well, after three tries, I finally came up with this:

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

Now I know why things cost money.
