I used a animal skin faux leather that I have had in my stash for a while (I made a tote and a portfolio case out of it in college and have plans for a handbag and an entire set of matching luggage.), some scraps from my fall floral shirt and a button from my button box. I ripped and re-did this like 3 times before I had to give up for the day. After sleeping on it I realized that I was going about it all wrong. On something this small you can't stitch leather right sides together and then turn. The seam allowance is too bulky. I forgot about that. I was able to salvage what I had and I simply topstitched it with the wrong sides together. No flipping right side out necessary.
I like the end result but I am never doing that again. Small accessories are not my bag, baby.

This is a great tip! I've done a few sewing projects that are small and can never get them quite right because of this detail. Small items aren't my bag either, but this will be great to remember for future reference!
That's a gorgeous phone case! Very, very beautiful!
