Step 1
Templates: Cut out with a 1 cm (3/8) seam allowance on all sides: 1X A on fold from jacquard, 1x B on fold from lining fabric, 1x C from leather without seam allowance.
Step 2
Fold lining fabric B rights sides together and sew up both side seams (the opening for turning inside out is on one side). Press the seam allowances apart.
Step 3
Glue both sides of leather strips C to the centre and topstitch close to the edges. Trim 2 strips to approx. 3.6 cm (1 1/2 in), thread D-rings through, topstitch close to the edge.
Step 4
Stitch the side seams of A right sides together, include the loops with the D-rings at the notch (leave opening for snap lock at centre).
Step 5
Push lining case B into case A right sides together and stitch 1 cm (3/8 in) from the upper edge. Press the seam allowance towards the lining.
Step 6
Turn the right side out through the lining opening and then sew the opening shut by hand.
Step 7
Press the lining to the inside at the notch (4.5 cm (1 7/8 in)) and then stitch 2 cm (3/4 in) from the edge all around to create the casing for the snap lock.
Step 8
Thread in the snap lock, adjust the chain to the required length and attach to the D-rings.
Final step
The chain makes this fashionable little phone holder almost like a piece of jewelry!
