Toaster Bakery iPod Cozy

Materials and tools:

(1) light brown felt sheet
(1) pink felt sheet
pink seeds
scissors
pink cotton yarn
light brown cotton yarn
washable chalk
straight pins
sewing needle

Steps:

1. Create a pattern by placing the iPod on the light brown felt and drawing around it with washable chalk. Being careful not to get too close, make your outline 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch wider than the iPod. Do this twice to create two pieces of felt that are the same size. Don't worry about the visibility of the chalk line once the project is complete, it will rub off easily.
2. Cut the felt on the chalk line.

3. Next, place the iPod on the pink felt and, using the chalk, draw a tight outline around it. Inside this chalk line, draw a curved line to create the "frosting" shape. Be sure not to get too close to the outline, you'll want some tan felt to show underneath when you pipe the frosting on top of the toaster pastry. Cut out the shape.

4. Randomly sew pink seed beads onto the icing, these will resemble sprinkles. Add as many or as few as you like.
5. Attach the frosting to one of the light brown felt pieces and, using a running stitch along the edge of the frosting, sew the two pieces together.
6. Attach both pieces of the light brown felt. Again, using a running stitch, sew three sides of the two pieces together about an eighth of an inch from the felt edge. Make sure to tie up any loose threads and weave them into the felt fabric. When you're done, wipe off any remaining chalk lines with a damp cloth.
7. Finally, slide your iPod into its cozy all-in-one and enjoy your favorite tunes.
