iPhone Purse

Etsy.com has a few really cute iPhone purses but none of them were quite what I wanted.  I’m not a fan of belt clips and a lot of times, don’t even have anything to clip it to.  That left me carrying my phone or sticking it in one of my pockets which left me with unwanted bulk.  [Cue that commercial with the phones in their back pockets.]

I simply wanted a phone on a strap.  I wanted a plastic front so I could use my touch screen and I wanted to be able to put it upside down in the pouch so all I had to do was tilt it towards me to see the screen.  In other words, I wanted to be as lazy as possible.

I mentioned it to Dani’s mom who had a small business making custom purses for people.  She was intrigued enough and had a prototype a week later.  A day later, I had this:

While not the MOST stylish thing ever (well, except the back because that zebra and lime green monogram is CUTE), it was FANTASTIC while I was cleaning the house the other day.  It has been great while running in a store without needing my entire purse.  And really is there any kind of phone holder that is stylish??

I just thought it was fun actually designing something and seeing it happen.  Well, Dani’s mom of course designed all the technical specs but you know.  I just wish I could sew and do this kind of stuff on my own.

And for the record, she’s willing to make more.  She said she could make it all fabric and could make it any size to fit any kind of phone so let me know if you’re interested.
