Zelda/Mario iPod Cover

[maddybelo]

Hi Everyone!

Just thought I'd post a little project I've been working on. I've had this pattern that I made sitting around for a while and I've finally managed to finish it.
It's just a little iPod cover that I made for my nano. I've done a Zelda (Link's Awakening) and Mario Side. It was pretty fun to do and I'm quite happy with the outcome
Yeah, that's pretty much it...

ha! Love it! Won't it fray on the edges though?

[maddybelo]

Hopefully not, lol. I did a certain stitch that someone showed me (not sure what it's called) as a border for each side before I stitched it together and that's meant to help it not fray. It's like a |_|_|_|_|_ every two squares. And I've actually frayed the edges, 2 squares thick for effect as well.

I've seen the frayed stitch before on a piece, and it looked like it held very well. Great idea- need to do one for my iPhone

very cool to be able to take something like that everywhere you go

I made some iPod covers for an iPod touch. If you stitch the edges together inside out it'll keep it from fraying. I've got a tutorial: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=356489.0
