This chic project by Corinne Bradd is perfect for bookworms and gadget lovers alike! Use simple techniques such as patchwork and buttonholes to stitch a handy case. The no-pattern design creates a 13cm x 21cm pouch, but you can alter the main panel to fit everything from a phone to an e-reader. Plus, it’s quick to make in an evening, so you can put your feet up afterwards and recharge your batteries.
1 Cut strips, 4.5cm x 35cm, from patterned fabric. Place right sides together and sew to create a 26cm-deep panel. Press the seams and trim a 4cm section from one side for the closure. Layer the panel on wadding and backing fabric, then topstitch the seams.
