Wednesday, August 7 from 6:30-9:30 pm

What’s a “Pocketin Board”? It is a pretty bulletin board – with pockets! It’s made by stretching fabric over a piece of Homasote and stapling it on the back. Homasote is a type of building material made of recycled paper. It’s used for sound proofing, and is very light. There’s a pocket for business cards/dentist appointment cards/tickets, another pocket to hold letter size paper that’s been cut into in quarters – a perfect way to use the back of scrap paper!

glendening-iphone-pouch-keychain-1 Custom Phone Pouch w/ Key Fob

Redlands Sewing Center • 422 East State Street  • Redlands, CA • 909.792.3994

Monday October 28 from 6:30-9:30 pm

Learn to make a pouch sized to hold your particular phone, and once you’ve mastered this pattern, you’ll be able to make custom pouches for family and friends. There is a velcro strap that holds the phone safely in the pouch but allows for access to the earphone jack, and the back pocket provides a place for you to store those earphones. Adding a swivel snap to the case allows you to clip the phone into a larger bag – OR you can slip a credit card and driver’s license into the pocket, clip your phone to the matching key fob and you’ve got everything you really need for a quick errand.
