OUT AND ABOUT

Birds of a feather Jolly feathered friends accompany you on your way to work, whether on your tablet PC cover, your mobile-phone case, or your monthly travelpass wallet.

S1101 Mobile-phone case A cover like this is really quick to sew, since it doesn’t require any stitching together and turning. The case even has a handy built-in pull tab for quick-and-easy removal of the phone.

S1102 Tablet PC cover Rather nifty, this case with the bird in the corner.

An underlap on the zip prevents the teeth from scratching the tablet. A single overlocking seam – the wrapped-edge stitch, worked in thick thread – sews the cover together decoratively.

S1103 Monthly travel-pass wallet Daily bus and rail commuters need to have their travel passes handy at all times. The appliquéd bird guards the wallet’s valuable contents, and the practical snaplink means it can be clipped on anywhere.

OUT AND ABOUT

X-t reme ly laid-bac k !

“X” is probably the coolest letter in the alphabet.

No matter how you twist or turn it, it’s a real eyecatcher.

S1110 Bag There’s room for a laptop and plenty more in this generously sized man bag. Softshell teams with silver-embossed faux leather for an exciting mix.

S1111 Laptop case When opened up completely, this laptop case can also serve as a soft base. The inside pocket has room for an extra mouse, CD or pen.

S1112 Mobile-phone case An “X” embellishes this case too. The “Extra Strong” sewing thread highlights the rustic look.

AT WORK

Home oďŹƒce A cosy, comfortable atmosphere is much easier to work in.

S1120 Magazine file Give your old magazine files a fresh new makeover! Easily embellished, the otherwise plain files become a true feast for the eyes. The BERNINA Stitch Regulator picks up the design on the fabric and transfers it to other fabrics. The golden thread makes for a touch of glamour.

Or choose the plain variant, which allows you to insert a name tag into the sewn-on clear sheeting.

S1121 Pen holder Recycling pure and simple – old bottle packaging, tins or cups shine in fresh splendour in their new coverings.

All tied together, they make a useful ornament for your desk.

S1122 Note box We created the box ourselves out of cardboard remnants, but you can cover an already-existing box with fabric.

S1123 Bookmark These original bookmarks are finished in no time flat. The ribbons can be personalised with lettering from your sewing-machine alphabets.
