Welcome to Gaia! ::

I finished it just last night. With the arrival of my new video iPod, I had to find a case that screamed "This is Nevira's iPod," and I wandered around the various iPod accessories without much luck. (Come on, I don't like designer labels, so why would I get a Liz Claiborne case?) Luckily enough, I work at a fabric store, and they were having a sale on prints, and even luckier they had some Egyptian-themed prints. I bought as much of each as I could (wooray for employee discounts!) and took them home. I used a pattern that my mother used for my sister's iPod, and made it using the Egyptian fabric. 3nodding

Alas, it was harder than I thought >_< Paper pieceing (sp?) was hard doing the front. But I left the heart in the middle and made it using linen, thinking that it would be a good place to write some hieroglyphs. I haven't decided on what I'm going to do (write my name, or a protective spell to keep my iPod from dying?) so I just left it blank.

After I got it all sewn together, I realized that my iPod falls out of the top if it's tipped upside-down gonk So I stuck my ushebti pin that I got at the Etruscan exhibit in Stillwater, OK at the top so that my iPod wouldn't fall out (and still fit with the theme =D)

Here are some pics! They're taken with my camera phone, so the quality leaves something to be desired... sweatdrop

Beautiful! You are quite the talented seamstress! eek I like the spell idea for the heart, and the use of linen for that piece- very appropriate. Would you want to write in English or hieroglyphs?

I think I know how you felt when you found those Egyptian print fabrics- finding a good Egyptian themed material is a rare treat, and you just know that it will come in handy some day! I had a similar experience at a bead store once- finding several Egyptian themed beads and pendents. I had no idea what to do with them but I had to gather a few samples of each type just in case! You never know when you might need some, and I expect they'll come in handy as amulets.

What a nice case.

That is so cool! ^_^

THAT IS THE NIFTIEST IPOD THING I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Great job!
