New Phone Pouch

I made a new phone pouch for my new phone with it's new pink glitter case!  I've made these pouches ever since I learned how from Lilla!  Lilla has a tutorial on her blog for how to make a folded fabric pouch!  They are so easy and cool and you can make them in any size!  I've made tons for cell phones and some for tablets, and then a few random sized pouches for odds and ends.

I went to make one today, and the first one was a little small, so instead I will use it as and odds and ends pouch in my purse it will probably hold lip gloss or something.  Then I made a second one which fit the phone perfectly!

I like doing different things with the flaps, so I tucked in the corners just a little and top stitched them into place.  Then I added a few reclaimed beaded appliques.  The larger one for the random pouch, and a smaller one for my phone since I get it out way more often.

I don't add any closures  to these pouches, they just don't need it most of the time.  I would only do it if I knew whatever it was would need it, or was not staying inside without it.  But for a cell phone, a closure is just annoying and makes you take longer to whip the phone out, this way it just slips right out and back easily, but is protected by the fabric when it's put away!

Can you see the photo of my recent new stash addition is now my lock-screen photo!  It's perfect for it!

Small Group Birthday Gift: Cell Phone Pouch

Every year I make a gift for each girl in my small group at church. This year I will be making cell phone pouches for each of them. The common thing will be the fabric, each will have this black and white polka-dot but have differing embellishments to suit their personality. This girl loves vintage right now so I picked a vintage lace and embellished it with embroidery and beads.

These pouches are for friends of mine who are mother and daughter! I think you can guess who's is who's by the appliqué!

Cell Phone Pouch

 Lilla has a tutorial on her blog for how to make a folded fabric pouch so I learned how to make it and then created a pouch for my cell phone!!!  I just got a new phone for my birthday and I don't want it to get scratched in my purse so this was a great solution...and pretty! ;)

I used my own measurements for the pouch though so that it would fit my phone well. I used a 25inches long strip by 4 inches wide. The finished size is 5x3.5, my wonderful hubby helped me figure out the math! LOL

 I added a liner of microfiber.  I didn't know any other way other than just sewing up a liner and then blind stitching it into place.  I used a microfiber cloth bought from the 99cents store and cut it up.  I figure this way it's a soft cleaning lining that is a little cushion too.

 Here is the back you can't even see the tiny stitches to sew in the lining.  I wish I had lined up the print better so it would be seen on the back too but I'm not good at guessing those things and it was my first time sewing something like this up.  I'll need practice to be able to do it better.

 On the front I added some vintage laced to the flap as I sewed it up.  Then as a closure I used a bracelet toggle clasp set of a hummingbird and a wreath.  It's perfect not too much trouble to use and it doubles as a pretty embellishment too!
