Tutorial: Sew a cell phone pouch

Katie at Made To Be A Momma shows how to make a pouch to hold your cell phone (or other small gadget). It’s made with a piece of batting or flannel sandwiched between an outer fabric and a lining. A Velcro closure will keep it snug inside. I’m not sure what specific model phone her pouch is made to fit, but you can figure dimensions to fit your own phone. Wrap your fabric around your phone to get your finished measurements, and then add enough extra for seam allowance. Just make sure you have enough extra to account for the depth of the phone (the sides) and for the phone to slide inside. Get the tutorial at Made To Be A Momma.
