Making a Cellphone and Ipod Purse
I have a cellphone and ipod purse that I bought from an office supply store. It was meant for a phone and change, but I thought ...why not phone and ipod. Recently, I noticed the metal part loosen from the pouch and now it does not hang securely on my pant or skirt. In fact, I went and got a carabiner from SGI (Buddhist organization) and clipped it on my belt loop. However, not every bottom I own has a belt loop. In fact, it seemed a little bit too masculine. From Thanksgiving to now, I looked at every department store and Target and did not find what I'd like. I also looked for purses and found them to heavy or to bulky. I just need this around the office so that I can answer my cellphone. So, with my new sewing machine, I decided to make my own. I have been studying different sewing techniques to put this together. 1. Cut out 2 pieces of outer fabric 7.5 inches by 5.5 . Cut out 2 pieces of inner fabric of the same size. Then, another piece of the inner fabric close to the size of the other (inner pocket). And cut out 2 pieces of fusible interfacing. 2. Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the outer fabric. Then, peel off the wax paper.
3. Cut tabs out of the outer fabric. I used 2 inches by 5 inches. 4. These will be folded right side facing each other and then turn to show the good side of the fabric. I used a crochet hook to turn the fabric. These will be tabs for the strap. 5. Pin about 1/4 inch all around the piece for the inner pocket and sew. 6. To make the inner pocket, fold the bottom and the left sides together, and sew to make a boxy shape. 7. Sew the pocket to the good side of the inner fabric following the shape of the pocket. 8. Sew the outer fabrics with the wrong side facing out. Leave one side open, and this will be the top. Then open the corner and sew a piece of corner. My measurements were 1 inches from the side of the fabic. The depth was 1.5 inches. Do this for both bottom corners so that the bag has a boxy bottom. 9. The two inner fabrics are sewn together and also given a boxy bottom. I also put snaps on both sides. 10. Now the shells are done, they are facing each other with the right side of the fabric inside, and the tabs are folded in half and pinned where they are supposed to be inside edge. I sewed around to close the purse shells, leaving about 3 inches in order to turn my bag to the right side. 11. Here, I am turning the good side of the fabric out from the 3-inch gap. Then I tucked in the gap, and I sewed around the outer part of the purse so that the stitches hold the inner fabric from sticking out of the outer fabric. 12. Here's the final purse. I already had a strap from another purse that was too big for this purpose. If you have any questions, please email me and I will try to help you. Happy sewing! |
