Nothing’s ever wasted….

Going along to the Spindyeweavers’ meeting today, I didn’t want to go empty handed so decided to make my son a soft leather iPod holder to take on his travels.

I used an odd piece of chrome soft leather which I had picked up on my travels, as my son didn’t want any of the commercially produced ones as they were too hard and bulky (space is everything when your life is in a backpack ! so I am told !!). 

I cut the piece to size and shape, using my new-found technology as a template, I sewed the sides using the kind of stitching you would use for saddle sewing, and found this made a very neat job. 

So, one spare afternoon + oddment of recycled leather = useful iPod holder… sorted.
