Jacob always has his hands full when he is doing his chores with his iPod because he wants to listen to his music "while working" so I decided to make him an iPod case for Christmas - searched the web but couldn't find the "exact" one I wanted (most had zippers or are girlie) so I kind of winged it :)
First I gathered these things together which I already
had in the house; a pair of old jeans, a key chain clip
and some fold over elastic (love this stuff).
Then I made a lanyard following the
instructions I found at SewCanShe
Then I cut of the bottom of the
pants leg from an old pair of jeans
Sewed up the two sides that I cut
If you want to add velcro or some kind of snap
closure to the top I would suggest doing it BEFORE
you sew the cut sides together. Unfortunately I DIDN'T
think about it until AFTER I was completely finished
and had to sew the velcro in last - not so much fun!
Attached the lanyard to the side I sewed up.
I am sure it didn't need to go all the way
down the side but I made the lanyard
so long that I just did it that way.

Turn it out to the right side
iPod fits in... YAY!!
and it is ready to hang on a loop of his
jeans so he can listen to it while walking
around doing his chores or whatever!
I will probably let him "decorate"
it with some fabric markers.

Great make!
I love it. I need one in purple lol.
That's a great idea!
Faith, you're one very creative lady - I'm sure your son is going to be extremely pleased with his Ipod cover. Not to mention it's washable. :80)
