cushion-shaped phone stand

Tired of holding your phone while watching TV? Make a cushion-shaped phone stand with this tutorial and free sewing pattern.

Below, I’ll show you how to make a cushion-shaped phone stand. It’s a great gift idea to sew for teens like mine, who seem to have their iPhones permanently attached to them. These stands are as soft as beanbag chairs and have a similar weight. They keep the phone securely in place without it falling, while still being soft enough not to be a nuisance if someone falls asleep with it. Mind you, I’m not ready to use my phone in bed, but I have teenagers and I’m realistic.

It’s also a practical gift idea for adults: I use mine to prop up my phone in the kitchen when I’m following an online recipe. Plus, I’m sharing a free pattern to make this cushion-shaped phone stand. It’s a quick and easy sew. It uses very little fabric, so if you’re in a hurry, it’s perfect for a last-minute project.

This DIY phone stand is an ideal gift for anyone who uses their phone to binge-watch shows. Comfortable to rest on your stomach, it allows you to temporarily watch your next episode of your favorite series while lying down.
