With Father's Day approaching I thought that I should probably come up with some sort of gift for my husband. He is a terrific father, and I sure do appreciate him.
I decided to use some materials that I had on hand to make him a protective sleeve for his ipod. Clark loves his ipod, and is a little rough with it. I figured that a sleeve would protect it, and possibly disguise it.
I used a scrap piece of black leather, one piece of felt (I just used craft felt, but wool felt would probably be better), a leather sewing machine needle, and heavy duty thread. I cut the leather about 3/4" larger than the size of the ipod, and then used a spool of thread to trace a semi circle on one piece of the leather for a small cut out. I positioned the two pieces of felt on the inside of the leather, did some top stitching on the open end of the sleeve, and a couple of decorative rows of stitching in the center. I then attached them together on the three sides, and I was done. It was such a quick project, 20 minutes tops.
Hopefully he'll appreciate the small gesture. Now I need to find some quick projects for my father and father in law. Any suggestions on inexpensive/quick gifts?
Thanks for reading, and happy sewing. I'm off to bind a quilt.
