Kaiku Lifestyle's most popular item until now!

Kaiku Lifestyle's most popular (most sold / requested) item this spring has been this cell phone cozy, made with vintage fabrics. The cover fabric is from an old curtain and the lining is from an incredible yellow quilted robe. Both fabrics are most likely to be from 1960's or 1970's.



The phone cozy is available through my Etsy store ($15)

Built a house.


I got a big cardboard box from a friend and made a house for my son. It was such a fun project because we painted it together. It has a window and a door. And when we don't want it anymore we can throw it away! Or patch the window, close the door and use it for storage. I love it.

Cute cute phone cozy.

I made these cute cute cell phone / iPhone cozies with a wonderful vintage fabric I bought the other day from Goodwill. The fabric is from an old jacket that looks like it might have been part of medical scrubs. The fabric is rather interesting blend of cotton and polyester and 1 % stainless steel! Lining is made of white recycled fabric, interfacing is new cotton flannel. Velcro fastening inside.


 

Available for sale at my Etsy store or through custom order as long as I have fabric left. I tried the cozy for my 3G iPhone and it fits well (without any extra shells, skins etc. at least).
