A Crazy Quilt case for my Ipod

What can we do when we have small pieces of fabric?
A Crazy Quilt. All we need to have on hand is: several pieces of fabric, a rotary cutter or scissors, an iron and a sewing machine.
Que pouvons-nous faire lorsque nous avons des petits morceaux de tissu?
Un Crazy Quilt.Tout ce que nous devons avoir en main est: plusieurs morceaux de tissu, un couteau rotatif ou des ciseaux, un fer à repasser et une machine à coudre
.
This is a picture of my scraps, you can see that I have a variety sizes of fabrics and this is what I will use to create my crazy quilt.
Ceci est une photo de mes morceaux, vous pouvez voir que j'ai une variété de tailles  de tissus et c'est ce que je vais utiliser pour créer mon crazy quilt.
There are many ways to create a crazy quilt, I will share with you how I do.
To begin we need a 4 or 5 sided piece of fabric, no matter the size because it depends on the size of your proyect. Since I'm going to make a small proyect I want to start with a very small piece. If you look at the photo my scrap is about 1" more or less.
Il ya plusieurs façons de créer une crazy quilt, je vais partager avec vous comment je le fais.
 Pour commencer il nous faut une pièce de tissu avec 4 ou 5 côtés , peu importe la taille parce qu'il dépend  de la dimensionde votre proyect. Comme je vais faire un petit proyect je veux commencer par un très petit morceau. Si vous regardez la photo de mon scrap est de 1 'plus ou moins.



My technique is easy; SEW, FLIP,IRON and CUT the surplus of fabrics.

I already  have my first piece of fabric cut, now I will cut another piece of fabric and I will place this piece on top of the first piece

Ma technique est facile; couture, pliage, le repassage et finalement  couper le surplus de tissus.
J'ai déjà mon premier morceau de tissu coupé, maintenant, je vais couper un autre morceau de tissu et je vais placer cette pièce sur le dessus de la première pièce

1) SEW- COUDRE

Match the edges and sew using 1/4" allowance from the edge

Faites correspondre les bords
 et coudre utilisant 1/4 " à partir du bord.


2) FLIP- PLIER

Flip this piece over to conceal the seam and expose the right side.

Retournez cette pièce pour cacher
 la couture et exposer le côté droit.

3)  IRON- Press- REPASSAGE


4) TRIM- COUPER

Trim as necessary to obtein a straight edge. 
 
Coupez tant que nécessaire
 pour obtenir un bord droit. 

Cut a rectangle of another fabric and...
Découpez un rectangle de tissu et ...












I will continue to add pieces of fabric until I have the dimensions
needed to make my case.
For my proyect I had to create 3 pieces of crazy quilt, two pieces will mesure
about 6"x4" it will be the front and the back of my case and another one of 3"x4"
for the flap

Je vais continuer à ajouter des morceaux de tissu jusqu'à avoir les dimensions
nécessaires pour faire mon étui.
Pour mon proyect j'ai dû créer 3 morceaux de courtepointe, deux pièces seront
d'environ 6 "x4" pour  le devant et l'arrière de mon étui et une autre de 3"x4".

To begin the decoration of my quilt I made a sandwich with a layer of stabilizer
first, then a layer of batting and finally I center the quilt on top and I started
doing the embellishment . I did my embellishment using the decorative stitches of
my sewing machine.







Pour commencer la décoration de ma courtepointe j'ai fait un sandwich avec une
couche de entoilage dechirable, puis une couche de batting et enfin je centré  la
courtepointe sur le dessus et j'ai commencé à faire l'embellissement. J'ai fait la
décoration de mon crazy quilt à l'aide des points décoratifs de ma machine à
coudre.

When I finished the embellishment I cut my pieces according to the mesure of my
patterns and then I started to sew my ipod case

Quand j'ai terminé l'embellissement j'ai coupé mes morceaux en fonction de la
mesure de mes patrons et puis j'ai commencé à coudre mon étui.

I noticed that you used a magnetic snap closure: I am questioning if it is safe to use with an iPod or iPhone?

Unknown said...

Hi Claudia, your question is interesting! What helped me make the decision to use a magnetic snap was that already are in the market cases for iphones that close using a kind of magnet button. My husband has a Blackberry that he uses for almost a year and the case (he bought it in the same place where he purchased the cell) has a magnet to close. If, however you care to use something magnetic, you can always replace the snap using Velcro, a button or other closure.Have a nice day and thanks for visiting my blog

Claudia said...

I did a search for "magnetic closures and iPhone" and found several articles warning of using this type of closure. One article, for example, is http://www.geek.com/articles/hardware/beware-magnetic-cases-with-the-iphone-3gs-20090626/ . As expensive as an iPhone is, I would be cautious as letting one be near any type of magnet, such as I am with my Mac or PC or my iPhone. Many products are made in China or such; and with the running record of disasters of pet food, baby formula, medications, etc. made in China, I do not assume that something on the market is safe to use.

I want to thank everyone who left me comments on my crazy quilt ipod case. I'm glad you liked it. Prepare this tutorial was something that I loved to do and when I get your comments they give me the desire to continue with my posts and create more and more. I have had many personal messages asking me the tutorial for the iPod case, I want to let you know you that I am preparing the tutorial. As the tutorial will be ready I'll let you know.
Have a wonderful day everybody !!!

Unknown said...

Wow !!! I never thought it was serious, thanks for the information. After receiving your message I started to get some information, what I found reading certain articles is that the magnet can affect some iPhone applications!!!! then in my next tutorial I will change the magnetic snap closure for another type of closure. Claudia,thank you very much for the warning, is appreciated.

Claudia said...

You're welcome. By the way, the crazy quilt case for the iPod is a beautiful idea. I have bookmarked your site for future reading. :-)

DonnaRae said...

Great Tute. You did an awesome job. Thanks for the directions. Also when I tried )If you want a page with the measures to create the case, click here) and clicked it stated access denied and was sending you a message requesting access. What's up with Google anyway?
Again, Thanks for the tute. And the case you made is so cute!

obviously like your web site however you need to take a look at the spelling on
several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues
and I in finding it very bothersome to inform the truth then
again I'll surely come back again.
