Constantly carrying your phone or tablet around in a crowded bag without any extra protection might result in a scratched display. That's why phone sleeves come in handy. Conveniently, I'll be showing you how to make one from felt today.
You will need:
Felt (the thicker the better)Applications
Needle and thread
How it's done:
Lay your phone or tablet onto your felt and trace around it, leaving a bit of space around the edges for seam allowance and the thickness of the phone/tablet.Cut this shape twice. Lay them on top of each other and start sewing around the edge, leaving the top open. You can use any stitch really, even just wrapping the thread around the edge every time will do and probably look nice. Just make sure to secure the ends by making knots.
When the basic pouch is done, you can apply any application you like to it. I used a sew that came with the owl parts already precut and matching cutouts of fusing sheets to iron the owl in place. You can use badges, embroider something on or even leave it plain if you like.
I hope you had a nice start to your week!
I regularly carry my phone in the pocket of my trousers. If it's not there though, it is housed in the top compartment of my backpack. My phone is constantly getting scratched due to a lack of protection. However, the crystal clear instructions which are presented here are a terrific solution to my problem. I really like the adorable owl pictured too. That is a very nice touch indeed. Thank you so much for posting this.
