In this video I am showing you how to make a small zippered pouch to add to your cellphone sling. If you want to make the sling, check out my tutorial for that project here: youtu.be/3cdMTGhBEpE?si=2_fundrhd7JDUS4x
You will need the following cuts for your pouch: cut one exterior piece 6”w x 5”h and cut 1 lining piece 5¾”w x 5”h. (I used the same vinyl I used for my strap accents on my sling and a water-resistant material for my lining so I did not need any interfacing. If you are using quilting cotton, add a layer of a woven interfacing to the backside of your materials). Cut a small strip of vinyl/cork/leather the width of your hardware (mine is ⅜” wide) by 1½”h.
Additional materials and supplies:
• (1) small swivel clasp
• 6” of #5 zipper by the yard
• (1) #5 zipper pull
• 6” of bias tape
• ⅛” double sided tape
