It seems similar everybody as well as their blood brother (sister, uncle, grandmother & niece) has a smartphone these days. iv out of v of the adults inwards our not-terribly-tech-savvy solid unit of measurement has an iPhone. So why non play into the στοιχείο obsession as well as gift handmade iPhone sleeves this vacation season?
Simple to make, no fancy or expensive materials needed. So simple, inwards fact, yous could whip upwards a whole stack inwards 1 afternoon. It's a fantastic agency to give something personal as well as 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 bag created betwixt the 2 pieces of felt. Perfect for slipping your transit pass, credit menu or cash into.
I'll give yous the dimensions to create sleeves which tin jibe iPhone 4, 4S or v models. But, yous could easily arrange this projection to jibe whatever phone.
You volition need:
Wool felt ( The colours I used are Black, Graphite, Smoke, Magenta as well as Swan)
Scissors
Pins
Sewing machine w thread
1. Cut 2 pieces of wool felt.
For the iPhone 4/4S, the pieces should hold upwards sized 8cm x 24cm (3 1/8" x ix 1/2").
For the iPhone 5, the pieces should hold upwards sized 8cm x 26cm (3 1/8" x 10 1/4").
2. Decide which slice of felt volition hold upwards the outer layer of your sleeve. Make a diagonal cutting from the superlative left corner to 6cm (2 3/8") downward the correct side. You tin position aside the triangular slice of felt that is cutting off - yous won't postulate it for this project.
3. Lay the ii pieces of felt on superlative of each other. Sew the brusk forthwith edges together. You volition desire to purpose a small-scale seam allowance of nearly 4mm (1/8"). Rather than sewing all the agency across, operate out a infinite of 4mm (1/8") at each terminate of your business 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 yous fancy a minute pocket, or, similar me, desire to add together a fleck to a greater extent than color to your sleeve. It's every bit tardily every bit sandwiching a 3rd shorter slice of felt betwixt the master two.
For this variation, yous volition postulate iii pieces of wool felt.
For the iPhone iv / 4S, yous 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, yous 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 v 1/8")
To construct, yous volition postulate to brand the 6cm (2 3/8") diagonal cutting (step 2 above) on both of the shorter pieces of felt. Then sew together the 2 longer pieces together at the brusk forthwith border (step 3). Finally, sandwich the smallest slice of felt betwixt the other 2 on the front end side earlier pinning as well as stitching the sides (steps 4-5).
Variation Two - No Pockets
If all this utter of angled cuts as well as sandwiches has your caput spinning, or yous convey no postulate for a bag on your outcry upwards sleeve, simplify simplify simplify! Skip mensuration 2 as well as repeat mensuration iii on both brusk edges. Then fold, stitch & done!
Happy holidays & happy crafting!
