Use yarn to stitch an iPod carrying case together.
If you're one of the thousands of people who use a portable MP3 player, the iPod in particular, it's always best to get a carrying case to protect your item while it is in use. There are many options available for purchase in which to carry your iPod, from jogging cases to cases that just protect your music player from scratches, but if you are looking to create your own unique carrying case, the opportunities are only limited by the materials with which you can work.
Instructions
1. Measure the width, height and length of your iPod and write the measurements down so you will remember them.
2. Draw the measurements on the plastic canvas. You will need five separate pieces; two for the front and back of the iPod and three for the sides and bottom.
3. Cut out each of the five pieces that you have drawn on the canvas using scissors and lay them out on a flat working surface.
4. Thread your needle with yarn. Place a double knot in the end of the yarn you have placed on the needle to be sure the yarn will not slip through the large holes on the plastic canvas.
5. Stitch any buttons or design elements you wish to add to the canvas. You can even stitch in a design on the canvas if you like.
6. Stitch the canvas pieces together using the whipstitch method (Reference 3). Start with the back piece and stitch the two sides and bottom piece together. Add the front piece last. Start at the bottom corners, going in through the bottom hole and coming up the other side, one square up (instead of stitching straight across). Pull the yarn through the hole on the other side and start again, repeating the stitch until you reach the top. Use about 3 to 4 feet of yarn each time you begin stitching on a new piece; this will ensure that you have more than enough yarn to complete the run.
7. Place your iPod in the new carrying case.
