iPod sock + tutorial



This tutorial will show you how to make this simple iPod sock for pretty much any size with a nice colorful (if you want) band.










MATERIALS NEEDED:
















STEP 1:






Trace out your iPod on the fabric you want to use as the main band, but make sure you trace it slightly larger. If you want to make this for something that is a little thicker, trace out about an inch larger, more or less depending how thick the object is. Trace it 2 times, or you could just fold the fabric in half and trace it once, so you can make the casing.







STEP 2:













Sew the wrong sides together except for the top, how else would you put your ipod inside??













STEP 3:





Take the other fabric to create a band. Cut a strip about 2 inches wide, but the length is twice the length of the top of the sock. I dont know if you get me, but yeah. Leave half an inch seam allowance. Fold the fabric in hald hot dog style with the right side showing





STEP 4:

Ok, this parts a liiiitttle confusing, Get the strip you just made, put where the folding is open lined up with the edge of the top part of the sock and sew those edges together. I know it looks weird, but it will come out right, trust me.Once you've sewn all the way around, sew the band together closed. Then flip it upright and there you have it! You can leave it like this or you can install a button of your choice :)
