How to make a do-it-yourself phone case from old jeans?

Before you start sewing a phone case from jeans, you should take measurements. Only taking into account the size of the mobile phone, you can make a good accessory.

Materials for work

You will need the following materials:

• Scissors.
• Needle with thread.
• Button.
• Jeans and a piece of non-dense fabric of a different kind.
• Rubber cord.

Cutting and sewing:

1. We cut shreds of fabric, taking into account the size of the phone and allowances for the seams.
2. Denim is needed for the outside, and cotton or linen for the inside.
3. Both pieces of fabric need to be sewn from the wrong side. This is necessary so that the seams remain inside the accessory.
4. Next, turn out the denim and place it in a linen “bag”. This must be done in such a way that the linen is left inside and the denim outside.
5. Then we sew the button on the front side of the accessory, and on the contrary make a buttonhole. These two small parts will protect your phone from damage.

Important! If the design seems boring to you, then you can glue rhinestones or some small application. Thus, by performing a simple algorithm of actions, you can create a beautiful phone case from jeans with your own hands.

Ribbon Phone Case

The technique of creating an accessory for a mobile phone with a retractable tape is a little more complicated than sewing from denim material. However, if you follow the examples, then in the end you can get a very good and convenient model:

1. To begin with, you need to make a pattern of the future accessory. You should take a thick sheet of cardboard and circle your mobile phone on it. Be sure to increase the size of the pattern, at least 0.5 cm (taking into account allowances for the seams).
2. From the material you like, we cut out two details for the pattern.
3. Before stitching the details, you can decorate them (buttons, pockets).
4. We make a cut on a stitched accessory. The main rule - the length of the incision should be a little more than a couple of millimeters of the tape you have chosen.
5. On the second piece, you also need to make incisions (not just one, but two). To do this, divide the patch into three equal parts. This way you can cut out the slots evenly.
6. We pierce the tape into the part with one cut and sew it firmly, and thread its free end into the lower cutout on the second part, and remove the tape from the cutout on the upper part.
7. Glue both parts with glue so that the places where the tape was sewn are hidden.
8. We decorate the ribbon at our discretion.

All actions are very easy and simple, so creating such a model will not be difficult and will not require serious efforts.

4. Cut a strip of plastic from the bottle, given the size of the stitched fabric part.

6. Also, a jeans ribbon should be sewn to the plastic. It is needed as a lock on the case.
7. Next, we turn our bag on the front side and make a small slot in the middle.
8. We put a plastic strip in a fabric bag, pull out the tape through the slot of the future cover.
9. Then we sew all the bumps with a dense thread.

Important! In this option, you can do without a fastening tape, and use only a magnet and a plate so that the phone does not fall out of the case.
