Manly Ipod cozy and cellphone cozy


I made that black & white Ipod cozy for a guy. It turned out to be a bit floral. After I posted it in craftster.org for comments, I got some great ideas on making things for guys. When digging through my fabric stash, I found these two fabric and thought these two would be good for man. It was hard to choose between these two, so I used them both.
Making bags is quite addictive.


This one was made of a piece of home decor remnant. Brown matches most of his cloth. So I'll send him this one.


I've never though I would like camo very much, but I like this one, especially after stitching on that button. And this was claimed by a girl, the size is perfect for her cell phone and she loves it.

Thanks, I'll make a PDA cozy with the same procedure as the Black/White one soon. I can take photos and write a tut, and I'll write down all the cutting sizes for the Ipod one, will this work for you?

A Crochet Wristlet with lining

     One of the great things about crocheting is that it's portable, the supplies - a ball of yarn and a crochet hook - can be easily carried anywhere, making it perfect for crafting on-the-go.  You can even work on your crochet projects while you're waiting in line, on a road trip, or anywhere else you find yourself.       Sometimes I don't have any particular projects in mind, so I crochet pieces just to keep my hands occupied while indulging in other activities such as watching TV, videos, or reading novels. Over time, I've accumulated a collection of pieces. Some I have used soon after completing them, while others have found their way into my stash of unfinished projects (UFP) , which I believe every crafter has.     Recently,  I resolved to finally confront my pile of unfinished projects - a task I have attempted several times before, only to end up with more added to the pile.    While digging through the UFP stash, I came across a rectangular crochet piece that

I'm not hallucinating, I can prove it

   I love fabric, in an addictive manner, even in the past few years when I didn't have time to actually do any project, I still went to buy fabric from time to time, eventually, they are everywhere.    Last week, somehow I suddenly thought about a specific fabric which was bought at Joanna years ago, a yard long.  It is a brown fabric with blue, red, orange flowers and some sparkling, very pretty. I went thought the 1~2 yards brown pile,  "no, not there", then I checked he floral design pile, not there either. Hmmm, maybe piles under 1 yard? no, I couldn't find it anywhere. This made me crazy.   Am I imaging it? I actually never bought it, I saw it in some shop and got impressed, but I didn't buy it. I regretted so much that I imaged that I already had it. Is that possible? NO, I have evidence, luckily, LOL see, the left bottom fabric, that's the one I'm talking about. I'm glad that I  made this owl pincushion long ago, although it has never
