Small victories

Every time my cell phone falls out of the unsecured outside pocket on my purse I vow that I'm going to Do Something about it. Last night I finally sat down with my sewing machine put a Velcro closing on that little pocket. It took a ridiculously long time. It was easy sewing one side of the Velcro on the pocket flap. The hard part was sewing the matching hunk of Velcro onto the purse side of the opening. I hate to admit how many times I had to stop in the middle and pull out stitches that had accidentally stitched together two random pieces of the purse's interior. But I finally got it done, and it works. Here's hoping this will stem the tide of lost electronics.
