Sew a mobile phone pouch for yourself or your loved ones

The Delia mobile phone pouch is very suitable as a small gift for a spontaneous visit to your friend. In our case, I sewed mobile phone pouches for everyone on the occasion of our big family reunion at the coast!

That way, everyone has a sweet and individual keepsake of a very special day!

When choosing the fabrics, I therefore made sure that there is something for every taste. I can tell you this much: A great idea - the pouches were really well received!

These materials you need at home to be able to sew the Delia mobile phone pouch

• Cotton fabric^* for the outside (it is practical if you choose a durable fabric as the main fabric)
• Cotton fabric^* for the lining
• Batting (I used cotton interfacing^*, but you can also reinforce the mobile phone pouch with, for example, double-sided iron-on batting H630^*)
• Bias tape^*
• 1 – 2 cm Velcro loop tape^*
• 1 – 2 cm Velcro hook tape^*
• Sewing thread^*
• Scissors^*
• Rotary cutter^*
• Cutting mat^*
• Pins^*
• possibly stamp set^*
• possibly stamp ink^*
• possibly Thermolam^*
• Sewing pattern with scalloped edge
• Sewing pattern with shell edge
• Envelope-style sewing pattern

The mobile phone pouch made of beautiful sand-colored linen fabric^* for Agnes in San Diego also got a panda button in addition to the panda bias tape. A little allusion to the pandas in the famous San Diego Zoo. :)

Here is the teen version: mobile phone pouch in a maritime style made of cotton with anchors and a wooden seagull button as decoration.

Beautiful maritime cotton fabrics^* are available at Stoffe Hemmers, I think one is truly more beautiful than the other.

I just love the beautiful fabrics by Riley Blake^* - there are sooo many beautiful different designs and finishes!

And because we all love the sea, there was even more maritime stuff! ;)

For the lining, I chose a bag fabric from Farbenmix.

For the outside of the golden pouch, I used the Rex faux leather by Swafing^*:

Highly recommended, especially for sewing beginners, because it also tolerates pins.

Furthermore, it is nice and stable when working with it and doesn't slip around as much as other faux leather.

You can download the sewing pattern for the Delia mobile phone pouch for free on my blog.

The Delia mobile phone pouch becomes a very special gift if you present it with a matching cosmetic bag (for example, the beginner-friendly Molly cosmetic bag, which is ingeniously sewn from one piece) or a great bag organizer (for example the glamorous Versailles bag organizer).

Also great to combine is a pretty lanyard in a color-coordinated fabric or the sweet and beginner-friendly mini wallet.

You'll see - the joy of the recipient will be huge!

By the way, I brought you a chic new tutorial from our trip to the coast.
Do you already know my maritime backpack with faux leather? ;)

Happy simple sewing,

yours, Sabine
