Where Have All My Marbles Gone?: iPod Case

So I have a sewing machine. I've had a sewing machine for a number of years now but I never bothered to learn how to sew. Why? because I'm lazy and busy and it didn't start living with me until this year. Anyway, I decided to learn how to use the thing and what better way to learn than to do a project?

So, I cleared out my painting space and turned it into a sewing station. I think my next few projects will involve sewing, so it was important I get some space for it.

This is what the space looks like right now:

My first mini-project was to make an iPod case for my recently acquired 3rd Generation iPod touch. :D My parents got it for me over the summer and I finally got around to getting it a screen protector so I started using it recently. It is love!

I learned how to sew in a straight line and how to make button holes with the button foot thing (the instruction manual is actually turned to that page). I also figured out how to make small holes just normally. This second part was at the suggestion of my roommate who said having a place for headphones would be a good idea in a case design. I'm glad I listened.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the final product next to my iPod touch and with headphones plugged in. :D
