How to sew a phone & tablet stand--great DIY!

- This thorough video shows you how to sew a phone/tablet stand using two different fabrics which allows you to use directional fabric and offers wonderful design flexibility. What's even better is the hand-sewn seam to finish the stand is on the BACK of the stand and not viewable to the public--how great is that! Great DIY project for beginner sewers giving you wonderful results. Perfect for Craft Fairs as well as gifts for friends & family. I'll use Stitch Witchery, Pellon Shape Flex, Poly-Fill stuffing, Pellon Peltex, heavy weight Poly Beads and Frixion marking pens.
Very nice video and clear directions. Thank you Trish for sharing!
Thank you. I found this easy to follow and made 5 at the same time! One for the house, one for the RV and 3 for friends!
Love love you showing each item and WHY we need these items.
Well now, hands down the best fabric phone holder I’ve come across. Thanks ❗️👍❤️
Third comment … you are still the greatest! This year again made more IPhone stands. Stabilized everything… used seam ripper to guide sewing in pillow… thanks again!!
I’ve made two of these so far. I appreciate your instructions. The more I do the better I will get at it. Thanks.
I found a piece of plastic canvas worked well for the hard piece before the roll area. Thank you.
that's a great idea too! Your canvas would be great in the event you needed to wash this off. Thanks so much for the pointer.
I could listen and watch for hours. What a great teacher! Though I have to listen carefully (since my last english lessons took place hundreds of years ago 🤯) I enjoy your instructions and your way to explain. Thanks for that great video and all the best! Greetings from Germany
Wunderbar! We've lived in Germany several times (in Berlin and Stuttgart) and loved every minute! Thank you so much for your kind remarks and terrific to have made a friend from across the 'pond'. Happy sewing...vielen Dank!
Love the tutorial, but agree on using invisible stitch for a nicer finish.
In Ami Simms book “Invisible Appliqué” she shows an”H” stitch. In knitting it is called “Kitchener stitch”. This is what I use to make the hand stitched closure. With a little practice/patients it is invisible. I love this tutorial. Your attention to detail helps a lot. Thank you.
you know...I was thinking about using a "ladder stitch" that I saw somewhere that might do really well too. Luckily it's on the back, so not too obvious, but your suggestion is perfect--many thanks!
That was a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much!
What a great teacher. I can not wait to see what you do next. Thank you so much.
you are 'sew' sweet and many thanks. I'm trying to dream up other cool stuff as we speak. Thanks so much--
You are an awesome teacher! Going to give this one a go!
very clear explanation, with this I will make not only one but for my family thanks. Iam from guatemala city
Love you comments, clear instructions, I'm so motivated. Thank you.
you're awesome and to have made four so far is terrific! So glad you like the video and the instructions weren't too awful. I find that once my friends saw them, I was a gonner and had to make a ba-jillion more for them and their friends. So funny.
Fantastic instructions. Thank you 😊
I'm so excited to make these - thank you for the great instructions and tips.
Great idea! Wondering if a tablet would work with this.
Love how you explain things! Thanks for this video!
you are so sweet! Many thanks and I always try to give enough information so folks aren't frustrated with sections missing from the class, but have enough information to be quite comfortable in making these. Thanks so much again!
Very nice I like how you make these ❤😊 I'll make my Grandchildren these be nice while their gaming .
Love, Love your Fantastic Directions. Thank you for sharing!
The was the best tutorial I have watched thus far. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm so happy you liked the class! It was so much fun to make and they sold nicely at our recent craft fair. Many thanks!
I agree!!! Directions are clear. Not a lot of time wasted at sewing machine so directions can be more precise and specific. I also appreciated your explanations for why you did what you did. Can’t wait to see your other tutorials! Thank you!
Thanks for the origami corner tip! 🥰
Hello. Thank you so much for this precious teaching. I will create one this afternoon but use rice (handy at the moment).
Wonderful! Agree that rice will work great as well. The beads are nice, but rice is great too. Thanks so much--
Eres lo máximo! Explicas perfectamente 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You are amazing at giving tutorials and this project is awesome! I have made two already and hope to make more as gifts. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I look forward to learning more fun projects. 💙
I am so pleased that you like the video and have already made several--just wonderful! I find they're great gifts and quite helpful for folks. Thanks so much again
Great video! Thank you! Beautiful work!
BJ again, made 4 so far... thank you thank you, you are a wonderful instructor.
you 'sew' rock! I know by now you've made a ba-jillion of them and thanks so much for your kind words. So glad you found the video helpful! Happy sewing...
Thank you, I made mine into an owl. Your instructions are great 👍
dang...I bet that was just amazing...very clever you! Love that...just love that.
Hi, I liked everything except the finishing sawing. I think an invisible stitch does result much better to avoid seeing those stitches.
You're right...a better stitch on the back would be lovely, and I've thought about a 'ladder' stitch to see whether the join would be less visible. Since the stitching is on the underside, I wasn't too put out with how it looked, but you're right...a better stitch would be nicer looking.
I agree...a ladder stitch wouldn't show those little stitches, and would make it look nicer especially if your selling these...
WOW!!! Love this Thank you so much
I like this .well explained. Sincere thanks
Glad it was helpful! I try hard to balance the details and not make it too long--thanks again.
Esse é o sistema perfeito e completo que já vi nesse modelo!!! Gostei muito .Parabéns! !
Thank you for the great tutorial!
You're very welcome! I love the heck out of these things--functional, really pretty and the price seems about right for my community. A win-win all the way round.
Parabéns ! O melhor vídeo de suporte para celular. Com melhor acabamento. Simples e seguro. Amei. !!!!
Great tutorial. Thank you.
What a Great Idea!!!
Merciiiiii pour ce tutoriel
Great instructional video. Suggestion - please allow a few seconds after you display your pattern so we can get a picture of the markings when your hands aren’t in the way. I had to rewind the video several times to catch the patterns.
great point...just great. I'm trying to get the info across, but not spending too much time where folks lose interest. thanks so much--great point.
❤❤❤ ready to make one for me first :)
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Beautiful idea thanks
Thanks❤️
Soooo easy!
i made one with a hidden zipper on the back so i can send it via mail to people as a gift. works well
that's just amazing...very nice idea and am sure it worked really well. Really appreciate the new method--you rock!
Hello and thanks much for the great tutorial! Do you have the written version anywhere online? Also, do you have the version where it is not 2 pieces but all one fabric? Thank you!
I'm so sorry...I don't have any written version anywhere. This version doesn't really allow for only one piece of fabric to make the entire stand--there are some very good videos out there that I think will allow for only one large piece of fabric, but you'd have to play with where the opening goes so it's not well seen by the public. Sorry I can't give you a better discussion about your very good question.
Wow what a great tutorial! You are such a good teacher. It was enjoyable to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it! I like making them and my friends love them as well. Thanks so much and happy sewing!
Haha ... Never really noticed the "go ahead" but now I can't not hear it. Still love the video.
You know...you all are right...I use helping phrases (don't really notice it myself--but they're there for sure), but apparently I use phrases and it bugs folks. I too notice when folks use helping words such as "like" and "you know"...I need to work on that and appreciate the feedback. Let me tell you, always a work in progress. I do however really hope given the irritant of the phrases aside, the video and the information is helpful for everybody. Appreciate your feedback and constructive comments--really do. Take care and stay creative.
Can you use walnut shells
Made my 1st one yesterday and they look much more designer than others I’ve seen!
Curious- want to sell at farmers market any suggestions on price you would recommend?
Thanks
Since we just had our craft show post-covid, these sold nicely. I think I'm selling for $7 each and that seemed reasonable. Folks are funny though...they'd love to buy for $2 but your efforts and fabric are worth much more than that. Good luck though--they sold nicely once folks figured out how helpful they were.
-@@peregrinedesigns1020 I think I would sell these for more like $12-$15. The fabric + labor is more than $7.00 worth!!
Can you show the phone in the stand? I want to create one for a mini iPad. Thanx!
I am so sorry, I don't think I can do any additional updates to the video once it's published. If you look though at a number of other UA-cam video pictures, you'll see what the phone will look like. This stand will very comfortably fit a large phone and also will hold an Ipad at the right angle for viewing. Hope this helps and glad to know you're going to create one--they've been a huge hit with all my friends! Many thanks and have a great week.
Do you suppose it would work ok to just shape flex the entire pattern pieces rather than just the seam allowance edges? Seems that there’s not much fabric left un-shape flexed by the time you’ve done the edges anyway? Is there any reason you can think of why that would not work out alright?
you absolutely could--I just did the seam to economize on the Shape Flex, but you could fuse the entire piece and I think that would work quite well. Thanks so much for you comment.

How much heavy weight beads did you use for one? I am doing these for 4 classes.....need to know if I can afford enough for 96 projects
I normally use about 1/2 cup of weighted beads...but to make 96 of these...that'll certainly take up a bunch of beads for sure. For your instruction purposes, you might be forced to use perhaps rice instead. Won't really be able to wash the stand using rice (that might be a bit gooey after you've washed it), but the cost might be a better option to get the information to your students. I like the poly-beads, but rice will work as well. Hope that helps and just awesome you're teaching a bunch of students--that's just excellent and I bet you're a terrific teacher!
I have had trouble sewing on the separate piece to the phone stand. It is very hard to do. Is there another way to make this phone stand?
dang...I wish I knew of a better way. It can certainly get a bit 'squeezy' getting that smaller piece to the main body. There are a number of other excellent videos out there that make the stand using one piece of fabric which would be easier...but I don't think it then allows you to use a different fabric in both the main body and the small roll in the front and if I'm not mistaken, it makes you do your hand stitching on the front where it's easier for folks to see. Doggone...I wish I had a better suggestion for you. I do know from experience, that when I make a number of a certain item, I figure out better ways to make it quicker, easier and just plain better. You're a good sewer...trust yourself to make it a couple of times and make it better for you.
Great video!! But please, stop with the 'go ahead and .....' So many Americans use that filler phrase which is totally redundant. IMO, it gets annoying when used every other sentence.
It's likely habit but adds many extra filler words.
How rude!
I agree with your comment 100%. The only place I hear the phrase "go ahead" is in sewing tutorials and I am an American. It is not needed and I find it grating.
Right!! It wasn't mean to be mean (some else didn't like my comment), otherwise this is an awesome video. It's just an observation, which I also have noticed in many sewing tutorials. Bad habit such as over-use of 'like' or 'basically'. Just some constructive feedback, as apparently I'm not the only one with this pet peeve!
Definitely not the only one with this pet peeve
why does nobody leave a zipper opening in the back of the filling wis wrong you can unzip it and then add more or less filling or different type of filling.
I looked long and hard for one like that and have just bought one from Amazon that has a zip opening. I have removed about a quarter of the beads so my tablet is propped up rather that sitting on top. I can remove the filling and wash the cover so it is more hygienic.

Great video ❤ but wont let me subscribe to ur page. 😢
If you use cardboard, you can’t wash it.
You're right...cardboard washed will get a bit gooey I would think. You could though use what's called Peltex or Timtex which is a much sturdier product which is similar to what's used in the bill of a cap (like a baseball hat brim). I've used this product as well, but didn't necessarily tell folks to use it because it makes them think they have to buy it as it's pretty optional. I don't plan on washing my stand, but you're absolutely right...cardboard will compromise a washing--so use Peltex/Timtex if you plan on putting it in the washer. Thanks so much for your comment...very helpful to folks.
Idioma
A lot of unnecessary words.
Every word is important!
