Wish I had the space to use the sewing machine because this is slow.

@nerthos I have no idea what you are doing but I too wish I had a sewing machine for manually sowing fabric progresses very SLOOOWly

@critialcloudkicker I'm making a holster for my phone, as carrying a 5.5" device on my pocket makes things like jumping bothersome. I have a sewing machine, I just don't have where to set it to use it.
-
@nerthos Ah, a phone-holster. Are you going with a belt-clip or something ? In which case wouldn't leather be way more interesting of a fabric ? I mean you want to jump with it.
-
@critialcloudkicker I'm using fake plastic leather that I had available for the outside layer, a soft fluffy fabric for the inside and to act as a cushion so the phone can't get scratched or hit; and then backpack straps and a backpack clip thing, the black plastic ones that have three teeth like a fork and you press the outer ones to release it, to hold it.
-
@nerthos ... So then it dangles from your belt ?
-
@critialcloudkicker No, it goes under the arm like a gun holster, so it shakes less when running and is not as obvious. On the belt it'd be worse than in the pocket.
-
@nerthos Yeah that was my primary "What ?" moment. I am sort of afraid that it would look sorta weird now though.
-
@critialcloudkicker I usually wear an open/semi open jacket so it can barely be seen.
-
@nerthos Shoot or paint me a picture when finished. I am intrigued now.
Also, personally, I would have just went with velcro and a Seido Obex case, but I already have the Seido Obex case so :) -
@critialcloudkicker I have an anti-impact case, the issue with carrying it in the pocket is not risk of damaging the phone, it's that being big, it limits mobility.
