thanks for the idea debbie, this was fun to make. had to google up how to blanket stitch and a how-to-blanket-stitch youtube vid popped up. how convenient. although i didn't quite get how to END the stitch so i was left with that wee bit of thread, which found its purpose in keepin the case closed (so no buttons or velcro or zippers needed).

plannin on making some cell phone charms soon :-)
