Instructions:

    1. Use pattern provided or measure and cut pieces to the size of your phone. Cut felt pieces. Use button thread and sew one half of hook and loop tape 2” down from top of center front.
    2. Pin the front to 2 layers of side pieces. Using thread, sew front piece to side pieces with a small running stitch, and a 1/4” seam. Repeat with the back piece.
    3. Fold the top flap down and sew other half of hook and loop tape as desired. Draw around a quarter on the second color of felt. Cut the circle out. Use 3 strands of contrasting thread and a blanket stitch to sew the circle to the front flap, hiding the stitches from the hook and loop tape.
    4. Fold the handle piece in half lengthwise. Pin together. Use 3 strands of contrasting thread to sew a blanket stitch along both sides of the handle.  Sew the handle inside one top edge.  Sew the hook and loop tape to attach the other end.
    5. Sew buttons on both sides as shown.  If desired, cut small opening for antennae.
