I've always liked the look of these, so I tried to make one myself.

Steps (5 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    First you want to get a neck tie that isn't being used anymore.

  2. 2

    Measure where you have to cut the tie, by putting your phone in and checking what is comfortable for you. If necessary, re-sew the middle line of the tie.

  3. 3

    Fold the hem inside and pin it. Then sew it, so it looks a little neater.

  4. 4

    Now pin down the sides, and sew them. I used a back stitch here. In between steps, keep checking if it's still the right measurements.

  5. 5

    Now sew a nice looking button in the middle of the lower part, add some elastic to the flap, and you're done!
