Step 2Cut, Fold, Iron, & Sew the Outer Hole
Now we need to cut and finish a hole in your pants that will become the "frame" for your iPhone window.
Sub-steps are:
1) Cut out the pants fabric about 10mm (or more if you are nervous) inside the the line you drew around your phone (Pic 1).
2) Fold back the edges (towards the inside of the shorts) and iron it flat so the crease is on the line (Pic 2). You'll need to snip bits out of the flap so the corners can be folded back. If you want to make a sharp corner, you can cut a diagonal snip into the corner but I wanted a rounded corner so I made two snips in each corner. You could do more, but the tiny bits are hard to sew down.
3) Sew the ironed flap down. This is probably easiest to sew with the inside (flap side) up (Pic 3).
4) This stage done. Sewn hole from the inside (Pic 4) and from the outside (Pic 5)
