Liberty Love - Clover Clamshell Accessory Case

There have been a flurry of new Followers of the Fabadashery blog in recent weeks - welcome.  I have been  busy visiting your blogs to see what you are all up to, and have noticed a couple bloggers have been working on projects using Liberty Fabrics.  Blue Moth has made a cute  Mini Hexagon Pincushion in some Liberty fabrics, like the one I made a few weeks ago, and there are also lots of Liberty goings-on over at Knotted Cotton. Do go and visit.

Anyway, all this Liberty loveliness made me pull out my Liberty Tana Lawn stash, to ponder over the potential for a little Liberty project.  In the end I opted for another Clover Clamshell Accessories Case, like I made a few weeks ago

Many years ago when I used to travel up and down the country on the train, my essentials pack included my Walkman, a few audio tapes, and spare batteries.  To hold all these bits I made a zipped bag out of the Liberty "Ianthe" design, which I had hand quilted.  Well, times have moved on, and I decided to make a clamshell case to hold my iPhone earphones, this time covered in the Liberty "Wiltshire" fabric design, with the inside fabric from the Ella, Red Rooster Range.

Second time around, the Clamshell Case was easier to make, and the Tana Lawn cotton meant that I was able to get a lovely sharp finish.  Once I cut out all the pieces, it was packed up for a 'found' moment.  In the end the 'found' moment was whilst watching the first episode of the new series of Downton Abbey on Sunday evening.

A neat storage solution, and a quick and easy project - I can see a few more of these being made.
