Description
Ohmygod, the title rhymes. *is shot*
Anyway, my godparents bought me one of those new 3rd gen iPod Nanos for my birthday in March, and so I decided to make myself a case for it. o.o
So, here it is: A toast iPod cosy, complete with a fried egg on the front, why it's a fried egg on the front, well, it's quite a long story...
The case is a sort of clamshell - style: There are two pairs of snaps on it (refer to picture), one flap to give you access to the screen and clickwheel, the other to insert / remove the iPod. There's a hole in the bottom of the case for the earplugs too. Unfortunately, since they've changed the hold key on the new nanos you can't access it as easily, but I'm not really fussed because it annoys me anyway.
Closer shots of the front and back can be found [link] and [link] respectively.
Case made from felt, stuffed with polyfill (so it's soft and huggable, ohgods!)
Since I'm completely self-taught, I'd love any critique you may have. ^^

that's good... i just had a friend move to TN, and he hates it there, but at least we can talk... what's cool is my mom said he could move into our house if he wanted!

Yeah, it is hard dealing with moving, especially so far. I guess I'm just used to it...
That's pretty generous of your mom.

Thank you so much! xD And haha, I'm sure you could.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Is it hand-sewn?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you so much!
Yup, it's completely sewn by hand: I don't actually have a sewing machine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I don't have a sewing machine either so I sew all my stuff by hand too.
I'm pretty sure we're a dying breed though. D:
Your stitches are really neat too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
D: Well, there are a few people who still handsew, though you're right, there aren't many of us.
Are they? I always thought they were really messy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When it comes to length and spacing
they're really consistant.
SO
yeah they are pretty neat.
Every artist is their own worst critic.
AND
the fact that you sewed it by hand gives yout extra points.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess, thanks!
And yeah, that's quite true. I probably am my own worst critic. xD
Yay! Brownie points. x3
Your plushies are really cute too, btw. ^^
