  1. 📱✨ How to Sew an Embroidered Phone Pouch for the Latest Large-Screen iPhoneIf you love combining functional sewing projects with machine embroidery, this DIY embroidered phone pouch is perfect for you! Today we’ll create a stylish fabric case with a drawstring cord, designed to fit the latest large-screen iPhone (up to 6.9″ display size). Soft, protective, and customizable — it’s a beautiful handmade accessory 💙 📏 Step 1: Determine the SizeFor the newest large iPhone models (approx. 6.9″ screen): Approximate phone dimensions: Height: 160–165 mm (6.3–6.5″) Width: 75–80 mm (3″) Depth: 8–9 mm ✂️ Finished pouch internal size:Height: 17 cm (6.7″) Width: 9 cm (3.5″) ✂️ Fabric cutting size (with seam allowances):Cut 2 main pieces: 19 cm × 11 cm (Add 1 cm seam allowance on all sides) 🧵 Materials NeededOuter fabric (linen, cotton canvas, or textured cotton) Lining fabric (soft cotton or flannel) Lightweight fusible interfacing Embroidery design (sized approx. 6–8 cm tall) Cord (80–90 cm length) Safety pin Matching thread Sewing machine + embroidery machine Optional: Thin batting for extra protection Decorative beads for cord ends ✨ 🪡 Step 2: Embroider First!Always embroider before assembling. Fuse interfacing to the wrong side of outer fabric. Hoop stabilizer + fabric. Center the embroidery about: 5–6 cm below top edge Stitch your design. Remove stabilizer and press from the back. 💡 Tip: Keep embroidery at least 2 cm away from seam edges. 🧷 Step 3: Prepare the Drawstring ChannelWe’ll create a clean top channel: Fold top edge of outer fabric: 1 cm inside, press. Then another 2 cm fold. Stitch along the lower folded edge. Repeat for both outer pieces. This creates a tunnel for the cord. 🧵 Step 4: Assemble the PouchPlace outer pieces right sides together. Stitch sides and bottom: 1 cm seam allowance Reinforce corners. Repeat same with lining (but leave 4 cm gap at bottom for turning). ✨ Optional: Box the CornersFor more volume: Pinch bottom corner. Measure 1.5 cm across. Stitch straight line. Trim excess. This gives a soft 3D shape. 🧷 Step 5: Join Outer & LiningPlace outer pouch inside lining (right sides facing). Align top edges. Stitch around top. Turn through lining gap. Close gap with hidden stitch. Push lining inside. Topstitch near upper edge. 🎀 Step 6: Insert the CordAttach safety pin to cord. Thread through channel. Tie ends securely. Add decorative beads if desired. Done! 💙 📐 Seam Allowances SummaryArea Allowance Side seams 1 cm Bottom seam 1 cm Top fold 1 + 2 cm Corner boxing 1.5 cm 🧠 Expert Tips✔ Use 40wt thread for embroidery ✔ Add thin batting for shock protection ✔ Pre-wash fabrics to prevent shrinkage ✔ Use tear-away stabilizer for clean finish ✔ Adjust width if using thick phone case 🎨 Design Placement AdviceFor balanced look: Embroidery should occupy 25–35% of front area Keep centered horizontally Avoid placing too low (may distort when cord tightens) 💡 VariationsAdd wrist strap instead of neck cord Make a double-cord version Add flap with magnetic snap Quilt outer fabric for extra style 🧵 Final SizeFinished pouch: Height: approx. 17–18 cm Width: approx. 9–10 cm Perfect for the newest max-size iPhone models 📱✨ Embroidered_iPhone_Max_Pouch_A4_Printable.pdf

  5. 🧵🔥 Should You Remove Stabilizer from Embroidery Patches? Let’s Settle This Once and for All! 🔥🧵If custom embroidery patches are your jam (same here 😎), you’ve probably asked yourself this exact question: Short answer? 👉 No — and in many cases, it actually makes your patches BETTER. Let’s break it down using real-world embroidery wisdom from makers who live and breathe patches 💪🪡 🧠 The Big Myth: “You MUST Remove Stabilizer”Many beginners assume that all stabilizer should be removed after stitching. That’s true for garments — but patches are a whole different beast 🐉 When making patches: The stabilizer is part of the structure Removing it can cause warping, wrinkling, or curling Leaving it in = clean shape + long-term stability 💡 Tear-away stabilizer that stays inside the patch is totally fine, as long as it trims cleanly. 🛡️ Why Leaving Stabilizer INCREASES DurabilityExperienced patch makers agree on this: ✨ Leaving stabilizer inside: Adds firmness and body Keeps edges crisp Prevents fabric distortion Makes patches easier to sew or mount later One maker summed it up perfectly: And honestly? They’re right. 🧵 Pro Patch Workflow (Battle-Tested Method)If you want professional-grade patches, here’s a proven process used by serious stitchers: ✅ Materials Matter100% polyester fabric 100% polyester stabilizer (cutaway or heavy tear-away) ❌ Avoid stretchy fabrics Why polyester? 🔥 Because it seals beautifully when heat is applied. 🪡 Step-by-Step Patch ProcessHoop one layer of cutaway stabilizer + fabric Stitch the patch design A solid satin or merrow-style border helps a LOT Remove from the hoop ✂️ Trim as close to the edge as possible 🔥 Seal the edges Lighter 🔥 or Soldering iron ⚡ Result? 👉 Clean edges 👉 No fraying 👉 Rock-solid patch Yes… some makers proudly say: And honestly? Same energy 🔥 🔥 Fire vs Soldering Iron — Which Is Better?Both work. Choose your vibe 😎 Method Pros 🔥 Lighter Fast, simple, effective ⚡ Soldering iron More control, less open flame Either way — polyester is the key. Cotton won’t forgive you 😬 🎮 Bonus: Patches for Games, Fandoms & ArtIf you’re making patches inspired by games, art, or fandoms (👋 TLoU fans!), this method is perfect for: Collectible patches Jackets & backpacks Display pieces Trading or selling Clean borders + stable structure = 💯 professional look. 🧷 Final Verdict✨ Leaving stabilizer inside embroidery patches does NOT reduce quality ✨ In fact, it improves durability, shape, and finish ✨ Especially true for polyester-based patches So don’t stress. Trim clean. Seal edges. Trust the process 🪡💪
