We're sewing a felt phone charging pouch
Need a quick gift? A felt phone charging pouch is quick to sew - and you can use it to tell wonderfully little stories! Unicorns, dragons, and princesses frolic on my phone charging stations!
A phone charging station like this is a cool thing: The phone is well protected from bumps and moisture and can look cool while hanging out. And charge at the same time. Perfect.
When I sew phone charging pouches like this, I think of a motif or a little story beforehand that the pouch is supposed to tell. I mean: You usually park these pouches at home near the socket - if you don't leave them plugged in all the time.
It can certainly look a bit funny and colorful, right? You don't wear pajamas in gray flannel with a crease either. ;)
With felt, I make sure to get a good quality, otherwise it quickly looks limp and cheap.
Really great felt* I found (unfortunately only after all the phone charging pouches were sewn) at Stoffe.de. But I already ordered it as a precaution for the next series of charging pouches. The colors are quite a bit nicer than the ones I used in the tutorial. Somehow more unicorn-like. ;)
I included a cutting template for the rainbow background in the sewing pattern. Of course, you can decorate, vary, arrange the rainbow differently, or replace it with your own sewing ideas.
By the way, this phone charging pouch is also a great first sewing project for children!
They are sewn so quickly that they are also suitable as an original stocking filler for a St. Nicholas party - or to give your colleagues a Christmas present (and affordable, but you don't have to emphasize that ;) ).
Sewing a phone charging pouch - materials needed
For the back
- 1 pattern piece made of bagging felt*
For the pouch part
- 1 pattern piece made of bagging felt*
For the rainbow
- Felt scraps*, color-sorted
Also
- Fixing spray*
- Decoration (for example unicorns, felt balls*, clouds, stars, or fairy tale characters)
- possibly Fabric glue*
- Curtain eyelet* 4 cm diameter for the socket holder
- Fabric clips* (I take the ones with the narrow mouth, because they fix precisely)
- the free pattern for our phone charging pouch
Instructions: Sewing a phone charging pouch
- Cut out one pattern piece each for the back and the pouch part
- If you want to sew a felt rainbow, cut out the rainbow pieces with approx. 2 mm seam allowance all around, as suggested in the pattern
- Spray the front of the pouch part with fixing spray and arrange the rainbow pieces slightly overlapping
- Sew the pouch part all around with 2 - 3 millimeters from the edge
- I do this from the left side, because I can then orient myself at the edge of the pattern piece
- Now you can straighten the cut edge, trim the protruding parts, and topstitch the individual rainbow elements as you like.
- Now add the decoration (important! ;) )
- Smaller decoration parts that I cannot sew, I usually glue with fabric glue*. It works perfectly.
- By the way, I found the great unicorns at the local craft store!
- There! Almost done!
- Now the pouch part and the back are clipped together with fabric clips and sewn together with a close seam
For this job, my narrow fabric clips* are perfect!
I sew in the first seam again, because I like it that way best
- If you like, you can sew around the whole pouch once
- Now clip in the curtain eyelet:
- For this, you place the two eyelet parts over and under the hole for the hanger and press them firmly together.
- Done! :)
