I’ve gotten pictures of my favorite iPod case so far and uploaded to them to Etsy. I love it because it’s the first mixed-media design. That is, it incorporates beading, embroidery (a little) and ribbon!

I saw something similar in a book and when I got the fabric, I realized I had all the right materials. I even made two. I would have made more, but I didn’t think they’d all sell and didn’t know what I’d do with them all. So very shiny, pretty, happy!  (Listing)

Any recommendations for sites which post beading patterns and the like? I’m still new to the whole beading thing and am trying to get more ideas in my head. After seeing hundreds of quilt blocks, I can come up with my own. Beading is so much more reflective of the real world (flowers and such) but it’s still hard for me.

I’m much happier with these ones. I only just finished the blue and lilac one tonight, so it won’t be uploaded until after I’ve taken pictures tomorrow. But here’s a few more for your enjoyment:

This one’s my favorite of the current batch. I love the way the batik makes the wings all a bit different. I also think I got the wing shapes better than last time. (Listing)

I made one of these in the nano size (listing) and one in the normal size (listing). The sparkly, clear fabric and the purple satin fabric were lying beside each other in a remnants bin and I just saw how well they’d work together! It’s not reversible, since the sparkles might scratch the case.

This batik is plain, it’s got nothing exciting going on but it’s nice and simple. (listing)

And, last, these red and white cases are made with some fabric I love! They’ve got a simple white lining (but if you want red, you can check out some other cases I have on Etsy). (nano) (normal)

That’s it for tonight! I’m going to post tomorrow about the baby turkey. I just have to blur some faces from the photos, so that people will stay anonymous.

I made this already and I’m almost finished the second one. It’s much prettier in person, but since we don’t have a digital camera (real pics coming Tuesday), I had Micah scan it! (scanners don’t pick up on the nuances, unfortunately)

I haven’t yet sewed it into a case, it’s just the fabric, but I’m really liking the design!
