How to Add a Cell Phone Pocket to Jeans
Are you tired of fumbling for your phone in your jeans pockets? Do you want to keep your phone safe and easily accessible while you’re on the go? Adding a cell phone pocket to your jeans is a simple and stylish solution. Whether you’re a fashion enthusiast or a DIY enthusiast, this tutorial will guide you through the process of adding a cell phone pocket to your jeans. Let’s get started!
Materials Needed
Before you begin, gather the following materials:
– Jeans (preferably a pair that fits well and you’re willing to modify)
– Fabric scissors
– Measuring tape
– Sewing machine or needle and thread
– Iron and ironing board
– Fabric marker or chalk
– Additional fabric for the pocket lining (optional)
Step 1: Measure and Mark the Pocket Placement
First, lay your jeans flat on a table or ironing board. Measure the desired location for your cell phone pocket. Most people prefer to place the pocket on the back right side of the jeans, but you can customize the placement based on your preference. Mark the pocket placement with a fabric marker or chalk.
Step 2: Cut the Pocket Shape
Using fabric scissors, cut out the shape of the pocket from the additional fabric. The shape should be larger than the area you marked on your jeans, allowing for a comfortable fit for your phone. If you’re unsure about the size, you can use a phone case as a template.
Step 3: Attach the Pocket Lining (Optional)
If you want to add a lining to your cell phone pocket for extra protection, place the lining fabric inside the pocket shape you just cut. Make sure the right sides of the fabric are together and pin them in place. Sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning the pocket right side out.
Step 4: Sew the Pocket to the Jeans
Place the pocket with the lining on the marked area of your jeans. Make sure the right sides of the fabric are together. Pin the pocket in place and sew around the edges, leaving a small opening for turning the pocket right side out. Trim any excess threads.
Step 5: Turn the Pocket Right Side Out and Sew the Opening Closed
Turn the pocket right side out through the opening you left. Use a needle and thread to sew the opening closed, ensuring a neat and professional finish.
Step 6: Adjust and Enjoy Your New Cell Phone Pocket
Now that your cell phone pocket is attached to your jeans, adjust the placement if necessary. Your phone should fit comfortably inside the pocket, and you’ll have easy access to it whenever you need it. Enjoy your new feature and the convenience it brings!
Adding a cell phone pocket to your jeans is a practical and stylish modification that can enhance your everyday life. With a bit of time and effort, you can create a custom pocket that suits your needs and adds a unique touch to your wardrobe. Happy sewing!
