Tutorial: DIY Cord Keeper

Do you like gadgets not only looking cool but being useful at the same time?

Look at this!

You will need:

• Jaquard fabric

• Light weight interfacing

• Scissors

• Velcro

• Sewing machine

First step:

Cut wanted shape from fabric and interfacing. Measure the cable circuit and add a few centimeters for the the velcro

Second step:

Fold two pieces of fabric with their right sides. Apply light weight interfacing to the back of one piece of fabric. Stitch around the fabric pieces. Remember to switch off the feed dog system of your sewing machine - it can hook the interfacing. Leave 5cm to open for turning.

Third step

Cut the threads. You can also cut the corner close the stitching lines. Turn the cord keeper right side out (the interfacing should be inside). Pop in sewing pins in the opening, even the edges. Stitch the cord keeper about 7mm from the edges. Stitch the opening on sewing machine or sew a ladder seam by hand close to the edge.

Forth step

Cut the needed size of velcro and sew the velcro (envelope shape stitching). Remember that two parts of velcro should be placed on opposite sides of cord keeper. You can also sew the velcro alongside the cord keeper for better regulation. Cut all unwanted threads and wrap around your cords tidy :)
