For my project today I came up with a semi-waterproof pouch that you could take to the pool or the beach to keep out the sand and splashes that might damage your phone. (Please note this is not waterproof, DO NOT submerge it completely under water). With a few scraps of fabric from my post here and a few minutes of time you can also make one for yourself.
Semi-Waterproof Summer Pouch with HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl
The Zipper Pouch:
Aurifil Thread Sweetly Stitched
Other Supplies:
Erasable marking pen, Iron (Oliso Pro), sewing machine, sharp scissors, other general sewing supplies, zipper and double fold bias tape or packaged bias tape.
Semi-Waterproof Summer Pouch with HeatnBond Iron-On Vinyl Instructions:
Iron on a piece of the HeatNBond Soft Stretch to 1 long end of each piece of the 2×9 pieces. Fold over and iron again. This will help give you a nice fold to sew the zipper onto.
Following the directions on the package adhere a 9×7 piece of the iron on vinyl to the 9×7 piece of fabric. You will now have a piece of vinyl fabric. From here you sew around all of the edges. Using double fold bias tape enclose the raw edges giving you a nice clean finish.
This really is a nice quick sew up. You can make one keep in you purse and pull it out when you need it to keep things safe from splashes!
