Phone and Ipad Case!

Today I was on a mission to make a phone and an ipod case/sleeve thing...

It's not my ipad (unfortunately) so I let the owner choose the fabric from some I had lying around...
The fabric is a sort of jersey type material so I was a bit scared to use it at first thinking it might slip while sewing and just end up a complete mess!

I had the idea to use iron-on vilene to strengthen the material and stop it stretching but wanted to test it first to make sure it worked. I therefore made myself a phone cover first :)

The vilene worked fairly well to strengthen the material and I also used wadding to give the cases a bit of padding. I then used bias binding to finish off the tops, this was a little bit fiddly but worth it for a nicer finish!

Here are the finished results:
