Mobile Case

Mobile case

Posted by Julia E.

I ve been searching for a nice and solid case for ages...so I decided to make one :).

1

You will need inner layer of fabric (I use fleece fabric) middle layer is made of an old file (which is barely visible because it is transparent) and finally, the outer layer is your favorite fabric :)...next some ribbon and button, velcro,... or magnets (in my case) are useful :)
2

make a template redrawing your mobile on a paper sheet (don t forget to add little space for sewing!). Next cut out 2 fleece parts and 2 file parts. Finally cut a small hole in one fleece part and sew in a ribbon (as in the image)
3

Turn the fabric to the side that will not be touching the mobile and put a magnet under the ribbon
4

..and sew it into it (as if it was a pocket)
5

glue the file on fleece fabric using small drops of glue in the corners
6

so it looks like so
7

sew the inner and middle part with the second part
8

cut out two slightly larger parts of third layer
9

sew them together (just slightly larger than a template) and cut the extra fabric
10

flip it over and put inner part in
11

now it is time to place the second magnet and cut off the ribbon.
Then glue the magnet and cut out a square of fabric to cover it from the top.

Finally sew the edge of fabric and ribbon together.
12

finally cut a hole for the ribbon (put something what is hard to cut through into the case! - I use metal lid) and sew the edges as if you were making a button hole.

we are done!
