Craft Bragging: GPS cozy



So Jason got a GPS for Christmas (thank you, Black Friday) and said he wished he had a cover for it. (He's kinda finicky about keeping his stuff well cared-for. He cleans the laptop screen all the time with the special rag and cleaner. It's cute.)
And I, remembering a tutorial that I saw on Make It And Love It, said I would be glad to come to his rescue!

Getting to sew is a sacrifice, but my honey is worth it. ;)

Only problem is, I didn't have fabric scraps, because most of my worldly possessions are still back in Sac. :( So I did kind of spend a pretty penny--for us broke folks, anyway--on the fabric for it, but I love it and have lots leftover, and am keeping my eye out for a good and free purse pattern. Oh, and I had to summon up my courage to face my mother-in-law's sewing machine. It's kind of a beast.
I forgot to get velcro at the time, and by the time I did, the sewing machine was put away. But I still wanted to share. You likey? Really, it was almost over too fast! I only got about two hours of sewing time!

So cute! I've been wanting to make an ipod cozy but I just haven't gotten around to it!

When (if?) you come back to Sac, I have a book FULL of purse patterns I got for Christmas. It's actually the one where I found the laundry bag pattern I made for Jamie. So you're more than welcome to use it if you want. :D

Looks adorable....love how it turned out. And bless that husband for being finicky about his new toy, and wanting a cozy for it. Sounds just like mine. Perfect for us wives who are itching to make a new project! Thanks for the link!
