Zorg's Nifty Pouch & Cozy
Well, being stuck in my apartment with no car for a week has at least resulted in some decent crafting!
Here we have a crafty solution to a nagging problem I've had since getting my shiny little loudmouth, Zorg the iPod.
I use Zorg mostly in the car, on my long walks on my lunchbreak, while washing the dishes, and cleaning the house.... I bought a case with a strap, but it just doesn't do it! The strap is too long, so Zorg is always being jostled about. :( And it doesn't cover his head properly, so I get worried when I get caught in the rain during a walk! Boo, Hiss, I say!
So here is my solution.
Why, it's a smart little pouch! (I loooove these buttons! I was saving them for something good.)
What's that you say? Well, it is a clever little pocket to hold my earbuds when they're not in use!
Oh! Here we have a little buttonhole-turned-earbud wire hole!
A little extra storage is always nice....
"But, Sarah", I hear you say, "Poor little shiny loudmouth Zorg won't be very safe in just a couple layers of calico!" Fear not faithful readers, Snippy brought out the big guns.
I used a couple layers of quilt batting, some flannel and my still improving hand quilting skills to make Zorg this clever little cozy. If the baby gets dropped, his noggin should still be in one piece.

ooooh!!! That's awesome! I have a Creative Zen, one of the original ones, and it's heavy as hell, not something I can fashion one of those arm things for. But something like that would be awesome! Off to go think and create!

Very cute!! Nice job. You should sell those to boutiques in NYC - people would buy those left and right!

OOOH! MiPod, Lester Snerdling would love himself one of those! I think it would do really well in cities, because now that it's not cold, and I am walking all around without a coat, I have to just hold the little pod in my hand, which hampers my style, and makes it unpossible to read, write, or do anything else while sitting bored-like on the subway.
I agree with Lisa! Get these things to the Cit-Ay!!! :)

Looks lovely Sarah, zorg has found himself a lovely little nesting spot. Hope things are good with you.
