Fancy iPad Mini / Kindle Fire HD case - Purple wine burgundy velvety decorator fabrics

I fell in love with these velvety fabrics at the store and knew that I would pair them together for a tablet case. I think the end result is quite nice.

Manly / masculine iPad Mini or Kindle Fire HD 7 case - Brown wool felt

I have done a few of these tablet cases pairing brown wool felt with various fabric prints; this one is more subdue, which may be more appealing to men.

You are the love of my life... tender Valentine card or Anniversary card - Feline / cat BFF

It will break your heart to hear the story behind these two sweethearts. I have hundreds of photos of the two of them together, in various tender and loving moments. It breaks my heart every time I see them together... to know that our feline friends can form such intimate lifelong relationships, and to know that he is suffering from a terminal illness. It breaks my heart to think of how she will cope with losing him... when the inevitable comes, perhaps in a matter of weeks.

Wool felt iPad Mini / Kindle Fire HD case

I finished this iPad Mini / Kindle Fire HD 7 case last night using a thick brown wool felt and a colorful striped upholstery fabric for the closure flap. I think the pairing is quite striking.

Beautiful floral iPad Mini or Kindle Fire HD 7 case / cover / sleeve

As you probably know, I love combining fabrics that are complementary or contrasting. This is definitely one of my favorite.





Festive iPad Mini case / cover / sleeve / bag

This is such a vibrant and happy fabric, plus it's thick and soft to the touch. I just love it. Given that it's a decorator fabric, I'd bet it would really liven up a couch or as the window treatment in a large room.

Colorful iPad Mini case / cover - Book style - Yellow green blue navy turquoise teal gray

I love making cases for the Apple iPad Mini, as it's so light and thin. I paired this colorful upholstery fabric of circles in yellow, green, blue, turquoise, navy, and teal with a gray flannel for the lining and the closure tab. The contrast is striking and perfect!

iPhone 5 wallet case with credit-card / cash pockets

Happy New Year (Especially to all of 7 regular followers of my blog)!!!

The reason I haven't posted more often in the last 2 months is because business has been super busy for my shop on Etsy, due to the release of new tablets by Apple, Google, Amazon, and others, which prompted many new orders for tablet cases from my and other Etsy shops. Since my blog exists solely to showcase new creations, and since I haven't had time to create anything new, there hasn't been a reason to post. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

At the request of a Belvidesigns customer and after a few iterations, I did finish a brand spanking new iPhone 5 wallet case. This is based entirely on the customer's specifications -- to have a light-weight, as-small-as-possible, and simple wallet that would have a compartment to hold and protect an iPhone 5, slots for driver's license and 3 credit cards, and a compartment for dollar bills. The goal is to use light-weight material that is also durable in order to reduce bulk. And, the case should be able to stay in the closed position without any extra closure mechanism, and it should fit nicely in a guy's pants pockets. Drum roll please....
