hi and welcome to Darvanalee Designs Studio my name's Nicole Reed and today
we're going to be making this cute little water-resistant and mobile phone
cover for those summer days where you'll be hot besides a pool or on the beach so
let's get started okay so there's just a few things that you're going to need
today the first thing is you need to head over to our blog and there you will
find the cutting instructions and the supply list that you need but I'm going
to run through a few things that we need today as well so you need some wonder
Clips very important because we're actually working with vinyl today we
also need a rotary cutter some matching threads some thread snips you're also
going to need a Teflon foot or some tissue paper if you don't have a Teflon
foot you're also going to need some thin vinyl okay because we're able to use the
phone through this vinyl still it's just to keep the water in the sand off if
we're at the beach you need some out of fabric as I said a fat quarter will be
perfect for this you need some foam so in foam such as Mathilda's iron or basil
and you're also going to need a product called heat and bond is the brand and
it's an iron-on vinyl so what this does is turn any fabric any quilting cotton
that you've got into a vinyl fabric so I'm going to show you how to use that as
I said the cutting instructions for the measurements and everything are over on
the blog and there is a print off for you over there just click on that link
and you can print it off straight from Google so this is the so we're going to
talk a little bit today about heat and bond vinyl I first come across this a
couple of years ago and I use it for my toiletry bags mostly when I make them
anything that's going to be near water so it comes with full instructions on
the back and we do have this listed on our website it comes and goes all the
time it's very popular so if there's none there just check back there'll be
more stock coming in soon so yeah it just comes in a two-yard sheet of it and
you and just cut it from there it's in a
roll and as I said it comes with all the instructions on the back so basically
what I'm going to do now is I'm going to show you how to use it okay so you can
see here I've cut my piece of fabric and it is measuring seven and a half inches
by eight inches and the violet that I'd on vinyl is the same measurement so you
can see here that it comes with a piece of paper on the back it's gridded and
then one side is shiny well that is the side of the shot the shiny side is the
vinyl and you're going to need your iron and you're also going to need an ironing
pad and basically all you're going to do is peel off the vinyl off the the sheet
of paper so you just peel the corner off and it just comes off and one side is
slightly sticky it's just a little bit tacky it's not that sticky you that
it'll stick to everything it's just a little bit tacky that goes down onto the
right side of the fabric just like so and then we take this throat on this
piece of paper and you can see that it still has a bit of a shiny side to it
it's just picking up that the light there we put that side place down and
the gridded side of the paper up so now we can use this sheet to cover our piece
of vinyl that is covering our fabric and you want to make sure that everything is
lining up all your raw edges are lining up and then we just take our iron and we
just press that on you just do that for about 20 seconds depending on your iron
and how hot it is this some iron actually gets quite hot and then
basically all we do is we just grab that paper we let it cool just slightly and
you just grab that paper and you peel that back and you can see there that the
I don't know if that's picking out you can see there that the vinyl is now
adhered to the fabric so that has now made it water-resistant not waterproof
but water-resistant so now we're ready to use that in our project so all you're
going to do after you've done that is you're just going to take your short
edges and you're going to fold them in half and then you're just going to
finger press it okay if you need to press it again you
just put that piece of paper straight back over it again you can use baking
paper and also an application sheets but I just use the piece of paper that comes
with it so that then makes a nice crease and we can set that aside next you're
going to make your binding so I've just asked you in the pattern to cut two
strips off your fat caught up at two and a quarter and then you're going to
basically turn this into a bias binding so you fold it in half first and press
all the way along then you fold in one side to that Center mark and then fold
in to the other and then fold it over onto itself like so and then you just
press it into place once you've done that you can set that aside so you can
see there I've just joined the two pieces and I've created my bias binding
so we're going to set that aside next you're going to get your piece of foam
and there's not much sewing going on right now but this is all the prep work
for it so basically what you're going to do
you're going to take your piece of foam and then you're going to take your piece
of vinyl fabric that you've put the vinyl on and it's cool now and you'll
feel that it's it's got a little bit of structure to it so what we're going to
do is we're going to take our piece of foam and we're going to line our
straight edge up on that crease that we've created and you can see here
mine's slightly bigger that's okay I'll just cut that off and even that up in
just a second it was just a scrap piece out of my scrap basket and then
basically I just want to make sure that that foam is is being covered by that
fabric okay and that's when I'm going to grab some clips and I'm going to clip
that foam and I'm making sure that it's nice and snug up into that crease then
we clip that foam into place like so and over this side it's all even so I can
click that into place as well and what this is going to do is just hold it
everything nice and even for me so you can see here I've got a little bit of
excess foam here and a little bit of excess foam here at
always better to have a little bit extra than not enough okay and then I'm just
going to grab my scissors and without cutting the fabric I'm just going to get
rid of that excess foam okay now we'll just take a couple more clips and
that'll hold in place because we can't find this we're not using fusible foam
today we're just using the sewing stuff and that's nice and perfect if you find
that it's puckering a little bit just flip it over and lay it down flat and
give it a good straightening out with your hands and that'll make it all set
really good alrighty so now what we're going to do is we're going to get our
piece of vinyl now you can notice that our piece of vinyl is the same width and
it's just a little bit longer and all we're going to do with this now is clip
that into place so where you put your Clips we're just going to clip that like
so I'm still going to leave these clips in here because that's holding the foam
in place until we're ready to sew okay so now that we've done that we're going
to head over to the sewing machine and we're just going to sew that vinyl into
place so now is the time to put on your Teflon foot or grab your tissue paper if
you're using tissue paper and then we're just going to sew 1/8 of an inch down
these sides here so down this side around and up and that's just going to
secure our vinyl into place ok so you can see now that I've sewn that vinyl on
okay and it's gone on to what looks like the back so now you look like you've got
a little pouch and this final flap is just going to come over but first before
we do that we know that our vinyl is not going to move but we do need to add our
binding on so basically all you're going to do is you're going to encase your
binding so how we that is we just open it up and we're
going to lay it on one short side and then about two inches down from well
yeah one and a half to two inches down from where the fold of the edge is just
place a clip and that's where we're going to start and then you're just
going to sew it down like you would normally sew a binding we're even going
to have mitered corners on this okay so I'm just going to swap out the Teflon
foot and I'm going to use a bit of tissue paper because I find that a
little bit easier and I'm just going to put my quarter inch foot on and now what
I'm not actually going to do is I'm going to just add a little bit of tissue
paper to the bottom and it is about the same size as the project that I'm
working on so now what we're going to do is we're going to line up our raw edges
and about to it as I said about one and a half to two inches down from the
weather telephone fabric starts I'm going to put my binding so I'm going to
open it up and I'm just going to do a couple of stitches and then go back up
with stitches and then I'm going to sew it down to the corner
and at about a quarter of an inch out from that corner within the needle in
the down position I'm going to actually now sew off the edge so I'll lift my
presser foot up and I'm just going to turn it so it's like the 45 then I'm
going to sew off the edge and you don't need to reverse here or anything just
sew off the edge then cut your threads
then what you're going to do just like you do a normal binding on a quilt
you're going to flip it up so you're going to flip it up on itself so you get
what looks like a little triangle just here and then you come back on itself
aligning the raw edges up on the edge so what this will do is still give us our
mitered corner then pop it back underneath the presser foot with your
tissue paper underneath and this just helps because of the vinyl it might grab
so we can see that that's all lining up and then we just sew a quarter inch all
the way to the next
and stopping about quarter of an inch away with the needle in the down
position lifting it up turning it slightly bring it back down and sewing
off the edge okay so we've down to this edge now and
again we're just going to fold it up on itself and then back down making sure
everything is a lining up with your raw edge so you can see that it's all
aligning with the little pocket that we're creating and then just back under
the machine and we're going to sew quarter-inch again no need to reverse or
anything like that now we're coming up to the edge where
we're going to go onto the vinyl our little vinyl flap when you get to the
edge of the pocket I always like to just do a little bit of a reverse there so
I'm just coming up to that now and I'm just going to do a reverse and then
continue on and again you're just lining up the edge of the vinyl with the edge
of the binding and when you get to that corner at the quarter-inch mark again
you just lift your presser foot up lay it back down again and stitch off and
you're going to repeat that step that you've done at each corner
okay so we're up to our last corner and now what we're going to do is we're just
going to stitch probably about an inch down just do it our back stitch remove
that 1/2 clip take our little pouch out of the machine and now what we're going
to do is we're going to join our two pieces okay so we've
just everything on there and now we need to join our two pieces so you can see
here that I started about about two inches down from this here okay and I've
got all this excess so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to trim that off to
give me a little bit more room to play with
so I'll take about an inch off and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to
grab my quilting ruler and I'm just going to line that edge up on the
quarter inch mark and I'm going to grab my marking tool and I just use a
friction pin for that so I'm just gonna on the quarter inch mark I'm just going
to line make a line there and then I'm going to lay this on top and I might
have to just put a you might have to put a little wonder clip there just to hold
it in place then I'm going to without pulling it real tight I'm just going to
lay it on and you should be able to do it depending on the fabric that you
you've used you should be able to see a line under there so basically I'm going
to mark that line just like so and this is just a guide for me and I'm just
going to grab my scissors and I'm not going to cut right on the line I'm just
going to cut just on the other side of the line and then what I'm going to do
is I'm going to join my pieces together so I just put them right sides together
and I make sure that those lines are lining up and then I'm just going to sew
a quarter inch seam allowance you may have to put a pin in this to hold it
together just like so pop the pin in there okay so I'm going to hit to the
sewing machine and I'm going to sew a quarter inch seam allowance
okay so I've sewn that and all I'm going to do is I'm just going to think of
press that open just to get rid of some of that bulk and now we can finish off
sewing down to where we started okay so now it's time to roll our binding over
so all you're going to do is basically make sure that it was open and then
you're going to fold in that edge and then you're just going to fold it over
and you're going to to line up your binding so through the
vinyl you can see if it's gone too far so if it's gone too far you can we'll
see it like that if it's too short you will see it on this side so what you
want to do is line it up so it's nice and even and then grab your wonder clips
and just pop them on and that's what I love about 1/2 clips it's really good
for working with vinyl and you can see on the front here that the mitered
corners are going really well so what I do is I just go up and I make sure that
it's going nice and flat like I would with a normal bind in and then I just
bring that over and then I just pop another clip in and I do that all the
way around making sure that it's all even ok so you can see there that I've
just lined it all up and now what I'm going to do is I'm going to stitch along
here about an eighth of an inch you may or may not need your Teflon foot for
this but because we are sewing on to on the fabric and we're using an eighth of
an inch it should catch and it shouldn't stick to your machine but just have a
test of it and see if it does I'm picked a couple stitches if it does and put a
piece of tissue paper underneath and then you'll be right to go okay so we've
sewn down on our binding and that's all in place so now what we need to do is
get rid of all our threads and everything like that clean it all up and
then we are ready to put in our snaps so you can see here that we've got a little
see-through pocket and our mobile phone will fit in there but so it doesn't fall
out we want to actually have some snaps on the back so then that way you can
still use this whenever you're near water or anything like that so basically
what we're going to do now is add our snaps on so basically what I want to do
is have three of the female part and three of the male part so there's the
three male and I'll need six of the heads
that's six of those and then I need some female parts so now what we're going to
do is we're going to use the binding as the first place that we put our snaps
and I'm going to use the male part of the snap so I need to grab myself three
heads and the three male snaps and the male ones are going to pick it up
actually have a little risen part on them so I'm not sure if you can see that
or not that you can see there that that's got the it's got like a little
raised part and the female one actually has like a divot in it so they fit into
each other snugly alrighty so what you'll need for this is something that
you can poke a hole with I've just got a tailor's all and I'm going to use that
and I just eyeball this basically I'm going to have a snap in the center and
then I'll have one off to each side and I think I'll come in about half an inch
on each side so you can grab your quilting ruler and your marking device
and that might make it a little bit easier for you
from where the binding ends I'm going to come in half an inch and just in the
center of the binding I'm just going to put a little dot like so and then the
same over on this side so you can see there that I've just come in half an
inch from where the binding ends here ok so then all I'm going to do is take my
tailors all and right where I've made that mark I'm going to stick that
through
and then I'm going to place the head of the snap through that hole get one of
the mail pieces pop that on and then I'm just going to grab my setting tool and
just give it a light squeeze not too hard because you don't want to snap it
but you do want the prong to get crushed down so you can see in there it's
actually crushed down and then I'm going to repeat that on the other side exactly
same process
put the male component on grab my tool
make sure it's all centered and crush it down so now I can see that that's where
they're going to sit and then I'll just eyeball the center which looks to be
about there again I will place the mark
and make a hole
okay so that's our three mo of components done so I want this to be a
little bit snug and this was where it gets a little bit tricky when it comes
to putting it the next one's on so I'm bringing that down and you might want to
put your phone in to make sure that it's still going to fit and that's nice and
snug now okay and I can see that that's going to sit there nice and snug so what
I'm going to do is just get in my marking device and just make a little
bit of a mark around about the center of that mail and you can see there that
I've just made some marks now you will have to be careful because it will rub
off and what I do is I just get my all and I put my hands in and just till I
feel that point coming through and then I move it off to the side because I
don't want to go through the front of my vinyl so you can see there I'm just
protecting it it's just come through and not sure if that's picking it up on
camera or not and see that near my finger there and I haven't come through
that front vinyl so I get my another head and I pop that inside and I'm going
to come in from the inside and then the prong of this is going to come to the
outside of the back of the little pouch so you can see there it's just come
through just there okay and then I just get a female part and I pop that on now
I don't try to go in this way with my tool because you can see it's going to
stop me I just come in from the side and just give it a gentle squeeze not too
hard okay and then that one is in and I'm going to repeat it for the opposite
side now I have to do the center one so again I do exactly the same thing as I
done for all the rest I make the hole
then I get my head of my snap and come back up through that hole wiggling it
around till I come through the foam as well
okay that's come through I get the female part pop that on and then coming
up from the bottom I will have to line it up now it is a little bit tricky
coming up from the bottom you will have to sort of fold it a little bit but you
can see there I've just folded it a little bit and my black part of the tool
is over the head of the snap and I can just squeeze that it is done okay so now
we can pop our phone in and smooth our vinyl over close our snaps and there you
go you can actually use your phone and you can see that that's just working
nicely I can go back I can access my music and I can use this now at the
beach or the pool and not worry about that my that my phone's going to get wet
