I like using my scraps and making small little totes with fairly long straps. These are used to hold your phone, id and a couple dollars when you don't want to carry a purse. They can be as small as 5 x 6 so you can get several from a fat quarter. If done with a snap foldover piece instead of a strap, they can be hooked over a belt. Make them in black, camo or denim and they work for a guy who doesn't want to put his phone in his pocket. I have found they are great for when I work in the yard or walk to the park - need that phone but nothing else!
