i-Touch Cosy

After nearly ten years of regular use, my personal CD player decided it was time to stop working two days before Christmas!

It was too late for a lovely replacement for Christmas or birthday from hubby so New Year saw the challenge to find something else.

I thought that perhaps I ought to drag myself into the 21st century and look at a Nano or i-touch player. So I treated myself to the above.

As is often the case, despite paying a tidy bit for gadgets like these you rarely get a case with it or you have to buy one separately.

Ahh, but this signals a crafty chance to raid the stash pile and make something original.

I have had the above fabric for a while. It was intended for a dairy cover commission but an alternative fabric was used.

I decided to lightly quilt it and lined it with the same fabric. I love buttons and this sparkly one just bounced up and down in the box saying "me! me! Sew me on!", so of course I did.

A simple quick fastening means that I can include the earphones and if needed the charging cable as well, plenty of room inside.
The top flaps over and the loop secures around the button. I have been able to put the i-Touch upside down and wear the headphones while it is still in the case! I did not want to mess around with holes to attach the earphones through, difficult to finish it off neatly.
I am really pleased with the way it turned out and I even had some fabric left over.
Want to know what I made with it?
Pop back to see tomorrow.
