Guest post past times Marisa of Omiyage
It seems similar everybody too their blood brother (sister, uncle, grandmother & niece) has a smartphone these days. iv out of five of the adults inwards our not-terribly-tech-savvy solid unit of measurement has an iPhone. So why non play into the cellular telephone obsession too gift handmade iPhone sleeves this vacation season?
Simple to make, no fancy or expensive materials needed. So simple, inwards fact, y'all could whip upward a whole stack inwards ane afternoon. It's a fantastic means to give something personal too tackle an extensive gift listing at the same time. Plus these sleeves brand bully gifts for the hard-to-buy-or-make-for guys inwards your life!
What makes these sleeves extra-special is the clever steal created betwixt the 2 pieces of felt. Perfect for slipping your transit pass, credit carte du jour or cash into.
I'll give y'all the dimensions to create sleeves which tin stand upward for iPhone 4, 4S or five models. But, y'all could easily adjust this projection to stand upward for whatsoever phone.
You volition need:
Wool felt ( The colours I used are Black, Graphite, Smoke, Magenta too Swan)
Scissors
Pins
Sewing machine w thread
1. Cut 2 pieces of wool felt.
For the iPhone 4/4S, the pieces should last sized 8cm x 24cm (3 1/8" x ix 1/2").
For the iPhone 5, the pieces should last sized 8cm x 26cm (3 1/8" x 10 1/4").
2. Decide which slice of felt volition last the outer layer of your sleeve. Make a diagonal cutting from the tiptop left corner to 6cm (2 3/8") downward the correct side. You tin lay aside the triangular slice of felt that is cutting off - y'all won't necessitate it for this project.
3. Lay the 2 pieces of felt on tiptop of each other. Sew the curt at nowadays edges together. You volition desire to role a small-scale seam allowance of close 4mm (1/8"). Rather than sewing all the means across, larn out a infinite of 4mm (1/8") at each cease of your draw of piece of occupation of stitches. Trim excess thread.
5. Using the same 4mm (1/8") seam allowance, stitch both sides. Trim excess thread. That's it!
Variation One - Two Pockets
Perhaps y'all fancy a instant pocket, or, similar me, desire to add together a flake to a greater extent than coloring to your sleeve. It's equally slowly equally sandwiching a 3rd shorter slice of felt betwixt the master copy two.
For this variation, y'all volition necessitate three pieces of wool felt.
For the iPhone iv / 4S, y'all volition need:
1 slice 8cm x 24cm (3 1/8" x ix 1/2")
1 slice 8cm x 22cm (3 1/8" x viii 5/8")
1 slice 8cm x 12cm (3 1/8" x iv 3/4")
For the iPhone 5, y'all volition need:
1 slice 8cm x 26cm (3 1/8" x 10 1/4")
1 slice 8cm x 24cm (3 1/8" x ix 1/2")
1 slice 8cm x 13cm (3 1/8" x five 1/8")
To construct, y'all volition necessitate to brand the 6cm (2 3/8") diagonal cutting (step 2 above) on both of the shorter pieces of felt. Then run upward the 2 longer pieces together at the curt at nowadays border (step 3). Finally, sandwich the smallest slice of felt betwixt the other 2 on the front end side earlier pinning too stitching the sides (steps 4-5).
Variation Two - No Pockets
If all this speak of angled cuts too sandwiches has your caput spinning, or y'all accept no necessitate for a steal on your band sleeve, simplify simplify simplify! Skip measuring 2 too repeat measuring three on both curt edges. Then fold, stitch & done!
Happy holidays & happy crafting!
