iPOD Case and Headphones Bag

Over the weekend, I tried one of Amy Butler’s Spring 2008 patterns to make a new iPOD case.



The fabrics are Jason Yenter’s Bohemian Manor Coral/Green Floral and Tonal Coral Circular Leaf.

Instead of the pleated pocket for the ear buds on the outside, I put one (non-pleated) on the inside. Ear buds irritate my ears, so I use headphones instead.



Should you decide to make an iPOD case, you’ll need to know which generation iPOD you have so as to choose the correct-size pattern pieces. I looked online and found that Apple provides a guide to help with this (see Resources below).



The black drawstring bag that came with my Bose headphones seemed boring after making the iPOD case, so I used leftover fabric to make a new drawstring bag. I didn’t use a pattern for this as I knew what I wanted.



Two grommets, a leather cord, and a Dritz 2-cord stop work for the drawstring segment. Flannel interfacing keeps the bag nice and soft. There’s enough room in the bag for both the headphones and iPOD case.
