How to Make an Armband Pouch for a Phone - DiY Sewing Tutorial

This step-by-step tutorial is the perfect way to go hands-free with your phone, whether you're walking, jogging, or going to town on a half-gallon of ice cream while you stand in the middle of the kitchen with the freezer door still open... Hey, I'm not judging. (Especially not if you share some of that ice cream with me.)

Because I know people will ask, the answer is: YES. I really must *insist* that you use a spandex/lycra fabric. Other knit/stretch fabrics lose some of their elasticity after wearing, and that will lead to Droopy Phone Pouch Syndrome. You don't want a droopy phone pouch, believe me.

Thanks for this great step-by step tutorial. I will be making one to fit my insulin pump. I think this pattern will work perfectly. So thank you for sharing.

Okay, smack me, I didn't use spandex but used a heavy stretchy material, unfortunately the stretchy part was in wrong direction and didn't fit on my arm, too tight and wouldn't stretch, duh.  I know my bad.  Hey, It did fit my phone though! So now back to the store to get spandex, Lol!

Thank you for this video. I have been trying to find something on my arm to put treats in while dog training. I put them in my pocket but they get crumbly in there and my dog is constantly pushing at my pocket to try to get to the treats. I think if I put them on my arm, she won’t be able to do that. Would you be able to add an additional pocket layer on the front that would hold some dog treats? I think the lycra would hold the treats in just fine but I can’t figure out how to add an additional pocket. I could use this one for just dog treats but I figure it would be great to also hold my phone and dog treats. Thanks for any help or ideas you can give me.

What zig zag width and length would you recommend?

Jeez. My Lycra keeps binding up in the recess below the needle. Sometimes with softer fabrics I use a paper stabilizer and tear it away later. That's not working here either.
This is the wrong format to ask questions but, I'm trying to follow this video at the moment. What am I doing wrong?
