Step 4Sewing MP3 Enclosure to Armband
For all of the following steps you need to consistently check to make sure your MP3 player is sitting the way you want it to in the enclosure as you sew it up.
1. Decide where you want your MP3 player/cellphone to hang from your arm. I am right-handed, so I decided to put it on my left arm. I also was concerned about having the velcro go underneath my arm while jogging, so I made sure to pin the enclosure farther to the right - close to the side where I will sew the scratchy part of the velcro facing my arm (which I chose the folded edge for) .
2. With both sides of the armband folded together, sew the scratchy-sided velcro on the side that will be facing your arm. Since I designed mine to fit on the left arm, I sewed the scratchy-sided velcro on the underside of the far right. You can wait to do this step, but I suggest doing it now because it will make it easier to place the enclosure.
3. Make sure the armband is unfolded and pin the enclosure on the front layer that will be facingaway from your arm. Sew one side of the MP3 enclosure piece to one layer of the armband. Test the width of your MP3 player and adjust sewing as needed to make the phone fit snugly and evenly in the enclosure.
4. Pin and sew second side of the MP3 enclosure to the armband after determining it is centered and adjusted to the MP3 player.
5. Pin and sew bottom corner folds. Be careful to make the enclosure long enough or your MP3 player will stick out of the top.
6. Fold the sides of the remaining bit of the enclosure (the back side) in so that you can pin it to the front and sew them together along the sides of the enclosure. The end will be inside the fold of the armband, or, at this point, on the back of everything.
