\"\"<\/a>Luckily, I remembered a store my sister had told me about, and I had been to once before – Craft Service<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s such a cool, old-school store!\u00a0 Among other things, it’s one of the only places I’ve seen paint-by-number kits for sale.\u00a0 They also have a wonderful selection of leather, both scraps and full pelts.\u00a0 I had already bought a few sample squares with an idea to make some business card holders.\u00a0 I drove to Rochester, cash in hand (they don’t take credit cards) to buy leather for a case.\u00a0 Grand total was $7.\u00a0 It took awhile to stitch together (and I’m still not quite finished), but it serves it’s purpose.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So a few weeks ago, I bought an iPhone (Verizon was ending their unlimited data plan – I was forced into it).\u00a0 Again, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on accessories.\u00a0 I hadn’t used the sample squares yet (that I had bought for business card holders), so I thought I might try stitching together a cover like I had done for the iPad.\u00a0 The squares (in truth, they are rectangles with a hole punched on one end) were just the right size.\u00a0 I believe they cost about 50 cents each.\u00a0 So $1+ and 2-3 hours later, I had a leather pouch that slipped snugly over my iPhone.\u00a0 It’s not a long term solution, but it should keep it from getting scratched while it bumps around in my purse.<\/p>\n
