EASY iPhone Sleeve
A tutorial by Erin Erickson
Materials
• Two pieces of fabric 10.75” x 4”
• Two pieces of fusible interfacing 10.5 ”x 3.75
• One piece of batting 10.5” x 3.75”
• One piece of fabric 2.5” tall by 2” wide for
tab
Cut & Sew
Cut two pieces of fabric lengthwise with the
grain 10.75” x 4”. If you have one, use a
rotary cutter and ruler for accuracy. Cutting
and sewing straight are the key to this project.
Interfacing and batting are cut slightly smaller
to reduce bulk in seam allowances.
Fuse interfacing to the wrong side of fabric.
Fold the 2.5” tall by 2” wide tab piece lengthwise in fourths and edge
stitch.
I used my edge stitch foot.
Grain
Place fabric right sides together, add batting to
wrong side and pin in place. Place tab folded in
half in the middle of one side as shown.
Sew all around with a 3/8” seam allowance.
This is very important. Measure if you have to! If
you use a different seam allowance your sleeve
might not be the right size. Leave a 3” gap on one
side for turning.
TRIM BATTING FROM SEAMS and
clip corners.
Donʼt forget the tab!
Clip corners
Turn right sides out and carefully poke out corners. Press well.
Hand stitch the opening shut. Press again.
Top stitch the top and bottom (optional).
Fold in half with the tab at the back. Stitch as close to the edge as you can while catching all of the
layers. Use an edge stitch foot if you have one. Reinforce the top and bottom by backstitching.

Add a split ring or carabiner.
Now you can throw your phone in your purse and not worry about it getting scratched, or attach it to
your purse’s key clip so you can always find it!
