So here is my second attempt at the MP3 case. I must say I'm much happier with how it's turned out. I had to make the pattern smaller to accommodate my 4th gen iPod Nano which is not as wide as other iPods. I also changed the tabs and attached them to the main piece so I could cut it out as one. That worked well. I inserted the peltex from the end rather than the middle and that didn't work so well. It was a bit fiddly....the peltex while being firm enough for a case, is not firm enough to force down a 7" length of fabric especially when 1 side has fusible fleece on it. Anyway, I managed to do it but would go back to the insertion in the middle if I ever made this again (my friend saw the case & now wants one so maybe for her birthday?).
The velcro tab has also been enlarged but is not in the right spot. It could move down about 1/2". It's a bit hard to ensure it's correct as it's one of the first things to be sewn and the case changes size when the peltex is inserted. However, now I know so I will mark the pattern accordingly.
