The pattern comes from Sew Mama Sew’s website:  http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/?p=740.  I updated it a bit to fit my iPod (changed the pattern size from 5″ x 14″ to 4″ x 14″.  This is definitely one of those instant gratification projects since I was able to finish it in about 20 minutes.  I made a matching case for a digital camera (keeping the original pattern size).

Let’s hope I keep this blogging momentum up!
