Tutorial: Upcycled denim and felt phone case

December 18, 2014 by Anne Weaver

H and Sammy from Live It. Love It. Make It. shares a tutorial at Sykes Cottages Blog showing how you can make a phone case out of upcycled denim and felt. The edges of the denim are left raw so they will get a frayed edge that gives an aged or distressed look. It’s put together with a simple running stitch, making this a super easy sewing project. This would be a great first sewing project for a tween!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
