the samsung note can fit my buffalo mini-station

this sleeve is made by my cousin ida.  she's on her way to sabah (tonite's flight).  she will be there for a week........conquering the great mount kinabalu.  ida is so petite....barely 5 feet but she is one tough girl.  she loves the outdoor.  she dives, runs marathon, snorkels, climbs mountain...anything outdoor-ish.  i instead love being indoor....tremendously.   ida and i are so different.  but our love for sewing brings us to the Kopai Boutique.  and we hope that we will bring diversity into the handmade product that we create for the Kopai Boutique and many more projects in the future.

my buffalo mini-station is inside.

take a peek.

today's sneak peek - another samsung note sleeve

what shall we name this one?  it has an owl shaped tongue and leather slot....cut and stitched by hand by my cousin ida.  the outer shell is made from deep and bright coloured indian cotton and a small portion of the flap is made from american cotton.  the colours on this sleeve remind me of the sweet fruit pastille we love when we were kids.  i think it should be named the 'fruit pastille'.

will be available for sale at the kopai boutique.

samsung note sleeve, wip

here's another sneak peek of one of the wips.  i don't have a name for it yet.

i took this photo with my mobile phone.
this one has a vintage look.

i used one of my favourite fabrics for the front and back panels.  i love both traditional and stylised prints.  the lovely colours of the prints on those cotton fabrics just put smiles on your face :)

for the units that are available for sale, pls visit The Kopai Boutique.

important note:  the stitching and reinforcement of the leather slot on the front panel is hidden under the lining.  this ensures that the surface of the lining that touches the phone has smooth surface and will not scratch the phone.

prototype of samsung note sleeve

i made this prototype last week.  i only used recycle fabric and recycle leather coz i'm not sure how it will turn out.  i want some cushioning to envolope the phone.  i don't want it to be too loose nor too tight...just snug enough to let the phone slide out with a light squeeze.  i don't want to use any closure that will impede immediate retraction.  but i want something that will hold the flap in place.

i was working very fast.  i just can't wait to see the finished prototype.  i didn't even stop to iron the fabric or to press the seam or to clip the curves.

so this is what i have come up with.

interior

UPDATE: the mushroom, i.e. the samsung note sleeve has been borne.
