TECH SLEEVE

 

To make the sleeve you will need these items: a ruler, piece of felt, scissors, pinking shears, a male/female snap set and a fashion button.

Measure your device i.e., Smartphone or I-phone. Note: Take your measurements and add a ½ inch so your device fits comfortably in your tech sleeve. To insure a proper fit.

Draw measurements on the pattern paper.  First draw the body of the sleeve, with the measurements you took draw the body of sleeve.  Draw out the tab pattern which is 1x5 “when finished cut it out. Write the title of the pattern, piece and name.

 

 

 

 

Trace around the device with the fabric marking device, and then trace pattern again.  Add the 1/2 inch seam allowance.  Use the ruler and measure 1/2 inch around the thress sides of the body of the sleeve and mark it with the fabric pencil.  You will then trace and add the seam allowance to the pattern.  Proceed to cut out the pieces.

Use the pinking shears to cut around edges of sleeve.

 

 

 

 

Attach the tab and sew to the outside of the sleeve, note: only sew 1/2 inch tab in a square and attach it.

Then, sew the corner seam and join the fabric pieces. Sew straight down both sides and across the bottom. Trim the corners and turn it inside out.

Attach closure and take the (female) the bottom part of snap and attach it to the tab of your sleeve and attach the top (male) of the snap part to the body of your sleeve, line it up so that it can snap. You can now add a fashion button of your choice and it should be a nice size, not too small or large to the back of the female snap part to hide the snap and now it looks like a button closure but it is not.  It is a fake!....hahahaha!...Now you have a great sleeve for your gadget.  Happy Sewing..:-)
