I'm thinking this might be a better idea than continuing to pay for the "hard" phone line my wife insists on keeping. Need to see what a second basic line would be for my cell service I don't see why you couldn't make a "shoe phone" ala s "Get Smart". The thing would be to keep trash out of and protect the dial mechanism. Would be interesting for parties -- just wear shoes inside Actually, push buttons reading is not easier to implement.
On the other hand, rotary dial readout requires only 3 pins. Fifty years ago I bought one of the early 'remote' phones. I has to be one introduced after the phone companies 'went digital' and charged extra for it. Even though it dramatically reduced their operating and maintenance costs.
The analog Dial Units were mechanical switching devices - think Babbage's Differential Engine and consumed much more space than the modern version in your picture or, maybe you're not in the USA and I'm all wet? Found a picture of one of teh old Western Electric sets - ain't the Google greaaaatttt? Reply 1 year ago. I did take it with me on couple of occasions, to "impress" friends, but am normally planning to always leave it at home.
Very cool idea! Now I'm wondering if it's possible to build one to fit in the sole of a shoe like agent Maxwell Smart's spy phone from the s.

Unfortunately, the bag is inside out at this point. And even more unfortunately, it's going to be an absolute bear to flip right side out again, especially if you used a really stiff vinyl.
Stick with it, though, and be patient. The dial WILL fit through the hole, you just need to move slowly and carefully so that you don't rip any of your seams. When you've finally got it flipped and rewarded yourself accordingly for completing such a feat you'll see that the shell of the bag is pretty much done!
Grab your lining fabric, fold it so that the right sides are together, and sew up the sides just like you did for the vinyl. Then flip it inside out so that the pretty side of the fabric is on the outside. Arrange the cardboard in the lining bag and hold it so that it's flat on the bottom. You'll see that each side has a point of fabric sticking out that looks a lot like the points you formed in the vinyl earlier.
Hold one of the points in place and use your sewing machine to tack it down with about an inch of stitches, making sure to go right through the cardboard. This may seem weird, but this is going to help us secure the bottom of the lining to the bottom of the bag in a minute, so trust me.
Repeat for the other side. Flip the lining inside out so that the pretty side of the fabric is on the inside , revealing the cardboard on the bottom. Put a bunch of hot glue on the bottom of the cardboard, then quickly and carefully shove it down into the vinyl shell of the purse.
Line up the cardboard on the bottom as well as you can, and use your hand to press it down in place. Like I said before, this will keep the bottom of the lining on the bottom of the bag, so that it doesn't come out with your wallet every time!
When you've got it secure, you'll see that the top edges of the lining should line up with the top edges of the vinyl. Those top edges don't really want to stay together, though, especially if you used a really lightweight or silky lining material.
To make it easier to work with, put a tiny bit of hot glue around the edge of the vinyl and press the lining in place.
This will really help a LOT when it comes time to add the clasp. The shell is attached to the clasp using glue, believe it or not. In particular, I used Gutermann glue , which is an amazing fabric glue that seems to be the standard choice among crafters who make purses. It sure did the job for us! Remembering that a little goes a long way, put some glue all down the channel of just ONE side of the clasp.
Then gather up all that patience you used earlier when flipping the shell inside out because you're going to need it again. Carefully work the edges of the purse shell up into the glued side of the clasp, optionally using clothespins to help you hold it in place.
I also found that a half of a clothespin made a great tool for pushing the fabric up into the channel. When you've got one side of the purse in the clasp, let it dry completely before attempting to do the other side.
I learned this lesson the hard way! It's very frustrating if you rush it and everything falls apart on you. When both sides are finished, you should have a nice puckered shell. All that's left is to add the handle, which is probably the most clever part of this bag. Start by unscrewing the caps on each end of the phone handset and feed a piece of thin black ribbon through the center hole on each cap.
To attach the handset to the phone, feed one of the ribbons under the hinge on the clasp and pull it back out to the side.
With the purse and handset on the table, pull the ribbon until you have the length exactly how you want it for your purse handle, then tie it in a good knot. Take the phone cord and hold it up to the purse to see how long a piece you will need to reach from the handset to the hinge, and cut two pieces that length regular scissors will do the job. Then feed each coil of cord onto one of the ribbons by looping the end around and turning it until it corkscrews its way onto the ribbon, hiding it from view.
My favorite part is the fact that the dial still works. Who would be caught dead with an old analog touch-tone dial when they could have a "modern" digital dial!
