Reversible Cell Phone Pouch

My friend Sophina asked if I'd be able to design a cell phone pouch to her specifications:

• Reversible (black and gray colors) cell phone case
• Can attach to the straps of different purses/bags
• Use cool buttons
• Include a small zippered pouch for easy access to car keys

Excitedly, I jumped at the chance to do it. Custom orders are always the most intriguing projects to take on because they feel like giant puzzles. I love the entire process of figuring out how to make something with my bag of tricks. I usually finish with a big sense of accomplishment (I solved the puzzle!) and with an expanded set of skills and knowledge.

For this project, I ended up with a case that can be wrapped and buttoned (as opposed to velcroed) around a strap. One side is black and the other gray. The zippered pouch section is what is actually wrapped around the strap. The small strap that holds the cell phone in the pouch is also black on one side and gray on the other. The cell phone pouch itself is lightly padded for extra protection.
