Of course, there is no shortage of cases for mobile phones, but there are pieces of leather and a desire to work with your hands. After all, a do-it-yourself outfit for a faithful assistant and
friend will be unique and unique - purchased products cannot be compared with your masterpiece! Well, get to work.
It is necessary
- - leather;
- - strong contrasting threads;
- - awl;
- - scissors;
- - a needle.
Instructions
Step 1
Place your phone on a piece of paper folded in half and trace around it with a pencil. The form will turn out to be quite simple, because there are no phones with a complex external structure. Circle for seam and side allowances.
Try on a paper pattern for your phone, adjust the dimensions if necessary.
Step 2
Transfer the final pattern to the leather and cut out the workpiece. To make it easier to sew, first make holes along the ruler with an awl at an equal distance for the needle. A leather case you sew is the simplest one, without side inserts, so it is better to do the outer stitching. With an inner seam, the skin of the allowances is skewed and deforms the entire cover.
Step 3
Now take a strong contrasting thread and sew the product around the perimeter, excluding the cellphone entrance. Cut small holes along the top of the cover for the leather lace.
Additionally, this accessory can be decorated with embroidery or appliqué, if the owner is a girl, or a stylish leather or suede patch with the name of the owner, if he is a man.
Step 4
Thread the lace through the holes made for it; you can attach a keychain to it or make it long so that it can be worn around the neck.
A leather case with a clasp is easy to make if you cut one side of the pattern longer and use it as a flap. Instead of a button that will scratch your phone inside the case, sew on a cool button or Velcro fastener.
Step 5
If you take thick leather for the cover, then the edges can be burned with a lighter. And if you also heat a blunt nail on a fire and draw something of your own on the cover with it, then you will get almost a designer thing.
Leather cases of this type can be made not only for mobile phones, but also for keys, a player, a USB modem, even for powder or lipstick! In such a case of mass production, use a burner to write the inscriptions. Then, with gaining experience, you can sew leather covers for axes, bottles, skewers and other items in dire need of protection.
