 I will describe how to sew a keychain cover from fabric. It's quite easy and you can make any modifications according to your own creativity.

I made my own pattern, of course, you can modify the size and shape according to your own taste. The pattern I made is just a guide to make it easier and used for personal use, not commercial.

Okay, let's start the tutorial.

Tools and materials:

    Fabric for outer and lining; I used sashiko fabric as outer.
    Interfacing, I used a self-adhesive fabric staple gun with medium thickness/not too stiff
    Hand sewing tools or sewing machine, including scissors and menders
    Keychain cover pattern, which can be downloaded here, better if printed on cardboard paper
    Keychain ring
    Suede or leather strap, 10 - 15 cm long
    Zig zag scissors (optional)
    Piping tool (optional)
    Beads (optional)

How to make:

    Draw patterns on the outer fabric, lining, and staple, the number according to the instructions on the pattern, namely 2 for the outer fabric, 2 lining, and 2 interfacing/staple. Attach the two self-adhesive staple patterns to the outer fabric by ironing. Then cut out according to the pattern shape, which is a bell. So the pattern obtained is two stapled outer fabrics and two lining fabrics as shown in the picture.





Stack the outer fabrics RST (right side together), with the two good sides facing each other. Do the same steps for the lining fabric. Incidentally, both sides of the lining fabric I used here are the same, so it doesn't matter which one is the front/good side or the back which is usually more opaque.

Sew the edges of the outer fabric following the shape of the pattern with a seam allowance of 0.5 - 1 cm (equal to half a sewing machine shoe blade). Do the same steps for the lining fabric. Leave the straight side at the bottom without stitching.

Cut out the curved edges using zig zag scissors, if you don't have zig zag scissors, you can use regular scissors and cut the edges short without touching the seams.


On the outer fabric, turn the fabric so that the good side (sashiko) is on the outside, you can use chopsticks as a tool to perfect the curved side. Tuck into the lining fabric using your fingers. Sew around the bottom of the straight pattern.




Use a sharpener to make a hole 3 – 4 cm long on one side of the seam (preferably on the straight side, so it's easy to close it later). And, at the top/top of the curved side, 0.5 cm long to insert the hanging rope (do this step on the lining fabric too, make sure the length of the holes in the outer and lining fabric are parallel).






Pull out the entire outer fabric through the side holes, then close the holes using concealed sewing (hand sewing).



Position the outer fabric on the outside and tuck the lining fabric inside. Top stitch around the straight side. Tie the string to the ring then slip the string through the hole that has been made at the top of the pattern. To sweeten, wooden beads can be added at the end.

Done. The result can be enjoyed immediately (hehe...) and used to hide keys (especially clustered keys). When the string is pulled, the key will be hidden inside the cover.

Have fun creating.
