Step 1CUT AND ASSEMBLE THE FABRIC
Cut a 7" wide x 6.5" high rectangle from both fabrics.
Sew the pieces right sides together along the 6.5" side with a 1/4" seam allowance.
Press seam open.
-
Step 2On the end with the heavier weight fabric (black in the sample), press edge up on wrong side of the fabric by 1/4". Fold fabric in half right sides together as shown, and sew up the side and top with a 1/4" seam allowance (leave edge you pressed up un-sewn for turning).
Clip the corners and turn fabric right side out. Use a chopstick or knitting needles to poke out corners. Press.
Sew along the edge of the open end.

Step 3ATTACH THE LOOPS FOR THE STRAP
To make the loops to hold the strap or elastic, I used the selvage from my duck cloth. I won't fray and it reduces the layers of fabric I need to sew. My strap is 1.5" wide, so I cut two 2" selvage pieces and pressed the ends under.
Note: If you selvage isn't the same color or you fabric isn't as thick as mine, you can make fabric tubes to sew on instead.
Mark your fabric for the loops. I centered mine, and placed them close to the edges.
Sew into place.

Step 4SEW ON VINYL AND MAKE THE POCKET
Fold your fabric in half wrong sides together (the loops should be on the outside) and press flat. Cut a piece of clear vinyl to be the same size as the front of the armband, and place it on top.
Clip all layers together. (I used Clover Wonder Clips, but binder clips would work fine too.)
Switch to a heavy duty needle on your sewing machine. Using a 3-3.5mm stitch length, sew close to the edges along the sides and bottom of the armband. Go slowly, your machine may have some trouble at the beginning depending on your fabric thickness. Leave the top un-sewn to create the back pocket and the vinyl pocket for your phone.
If using a strap, slip your strap through the loops.
If using elastic, measure a piece of elastic the width of your arm. Insert it into the loops. Overlap the elastic to make a circle and pin or baste. Try it on to check the fit. Adjust as necessary. Sew your elastic together (I like sew together elastic by sewing a rectangle with an "x" in it where the elastic overlaps.
