Can you keep a secret? Santa’s been shopping at the Apple store. So I thought I’d help out with a few handmade stocking stuffers- iPod Touch cases. (My daughters are forbidden to look at my blog until after Christmas, so Shhh!) I searched online for a template, and when I couldn’t find any, I made one myself.
The template (below in outline) is for using with heavy material such as repurposed purse leather like I use. Don’t use heavier leather or any material that cannot be doubled and run through your machine. 
Although I haven’t tried it, I imagine heavy wool felt would work very nice. A leather case can be plain or customized using graphics printed to iron-on transfer sheets for dark T-shirts. You may or may not want to add an optional loop for attaching fob hardware or tucking earphone cords into.
Begin by trimming out the leather pieces based on the free PDF template pattern (Click on template for download.) If you’re good with design software, you can use the template shapes to mask a design for your iron-on transfers.
With your sewing machine on it’s slowest speed (I used the up down button on mine to go extra slow on the curves,) stitch the top area of the short front piece. I pulled the end threads through to the other side to hand knot.
If you are adding a loop, stitch that to the longer back piece before joining front and back pieces. 
Finally, stitch a seam all around the two pieces, including the top area of the long back piece, careful to follow the seam allowance shown in the template for the best fit.
Here is the case I made for Sarah using her Vintage Monogram and free digital ornate book cover image.
For Jamie’s case, I modified vintage baseball images from Xander Graphic’s Etsy shop and added her name in the design.
Then I had some fun making two other iPeople cases with my free vintage group photo images and free digital vintage labels. And, feeling a bit gifty, I’m giving those two away! Wouldn’t one look fabulous with your name Sharpie’d on the label?
So if you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone and need a case, or know someone who does, leave a comment that you are entering, and be sure there is a way for me to contact you by email if you win. Entries close end of 12/23 and I will draw the winner on Christmas Eve. 
In the meantime, if you’d like to make a people case yourself, here’s the free PDF download for those!

UPDATE: Winners chosen! Congratulations to Melissa of Mel’s Own Place and Jenny, The Creative Crafter UK. Merry Christmas!! Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments, I’ll make more stuff to giveaway soon!

Love it! Wish I had an ounce of your talent…..
You are the craftiest, most generous, lovliest blogger! (do I get extra points??)
I love everything you do and would love one of these great cases for my iPod!
This is really amazing. Thanks so much for sharing it. I love the way your mind works.
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Totally unique, totally brilliant!
Amazing! Your talents are endless! I love the ipod cases. Soon you will be making eyeglass cases. It will go on and on because your imagination never ends. Wonderful ideas on your blog. Oh, sign me up for the raffle. I'm already crossing my fingers! Have a great Holiday!
Very classy gifts! Who wouldn't be proud to have one? Clever idea, Cathe.

This is probably the most useful idea/tutorial I've seen in awhile. I have some amazing wool coats that beg to be cut up and two wonderful people [that own one of each contraption] that I haven't made gifts for yet. This is EXACTLY what I needed to read about. You're awesome! Thank you!
These are fabulous. Makes me want to fight with my machine and make one myself (if I'm not lucky enough to win). Thanks for sharing!
Cathe, those are very cute. I don't have either device so don't enter me in the drawing but it did inspire me to think about making something for my own cell phone! I also wanted to add that I was always a peeker given the chance so I hope your daughters really don't look
These are so fantastic!!! The graphics are beautiful. I would be thrilled to bits to win one!! sillymagoo55@yahoo.com
Wonderful work. I would love to receive one of these for Christmas as I've just got an ipod for my birthday. Your girls are so lucky – they're gorgeous!
These look WONDERFUL, You are so clever. My daughter has an itouch and I would LOVE to win one for her. Thanks so much and MERRY Christmas!!
Cathe, this is fantastic…count me in!! Sally sjhackney@yahoo.com

I don't have an iPhone (maybe I shouldn't admit that publicly? LOL) but I still think these are fab. Great idea and I love the simplicity. Might be an idea to maybe have a toggle over the top so it won't slip out when the leather gets softer and stretches a bit from use.
Hi Cathe! What a great idea. Your girls are going to love them! Thanks for sharing the templates and pattern.
I recently used your Spencerian deer image for the front of a music program for our local orchestra. My DH thought the program looked quite elegant (instead of the kitchy ones with too many holiday images on the front). Thanks for helping me look good!
Merry Christmas!
Donna
This s great! I was having a hard time figuring out what to give my little brother! He would love one of these! What did you use to get the image onto the leather?
Thanks again!
Wonderful idea! And so beautiful! I would love to win one for my iPhone.
Merry Christmas!

I might just have to get an Ipod Touch so I have an excuse to make the holder!
What a great idea-these look wonderful. I may have to try this–cases for glasses would be cool also. I would LOVE for you to share this idea on my party Monday-Its So Very Creative. The gals would love it and it bookmarks it for me to come back over for the details.
I have had so many Google problems-and it isn't over-Google has no idea how to solve the problem.
Sorry I haven't been by much-I decided after weeks and weeks of non-stop Google issues, I am throwing my hands up and making much needed visits.
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and hope you can come by for a visit.
Cheri
I would LOVE to win one of those for my itouch! What a nice giveaway and tutorial! Thank you and Merry Christmas!!!
Lucky girls to have such a mom! Wow! They are great, much better than the ones my kids have. Wishing you all the best during this Christmas season, I still keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

You are so clever and creative. I'm sure each and every one will be appreciated and loved.
My ipod touch would love to have a home like those! If I don't win one I think I'll knit up some wool and felt it to make myself a warm woolie one.
Oh wow, yes please enter me. I know someone that this would be a great "Thank You" gift for!
Smiles~

PS. In the meantime, I'm going to see if I can't alter it to fit my Samsung Eternity. It's almost the same size. Plus I have a Blackberry for work that needs a cover.
Thank you for sharing!
Great project. I've never worked with leather but this might be the time to try it.
please oh please!!!!
aalatimer@yahoo.com
i love your print on leather, i didn't know it was possible to print something like this at home. is it?
I love these!! I would love to win too b/c I don't think I am talented enough to make one. Right now my iPhone lives in a koozie in my purse. It's lame. This would be so much cuter!!!!
oh my ipod would just love to be all snuggled up in one of those! Please enter me in the giveaway! Also you can use regular iron on transfers for leather? Thanks!

You are amazing Cathe…simply amazing! Another precious gift from your fingertips….I hope you are doing good sweet friend ~ wishing you a wonderful Christmas…hugs and love, Dawn
Oh my, those are beautiful! I have never been brave enough to sew with leather and I had no idea that you could do transfers on it.
When I got my iPod Touch I looked at tons of cases and never saw any as awesome as these. My Touch would love a home like that!!!
jaxx444@gmail.com
How cool! My daughter would love one of these. She recently LOST her iPod Touch… it is just the saddest thing for her… but I might (wink wink) pick her up another one for Christmas. If Santa says she's been good, that is.
OMG! For sure I would love to have such a gorgeous iphone-case!!

omigosh omigosh omigosh!!!! I love these!!!!! I have to try them!!!!!! thank you!

Fab!!!! Now I just need an iphone!!!
I love these! You are just so creative. I would have never thought you could use transfer paper on leather. Your girls will love them, especially since they are one of a kind.
Thanks so much for the templates and hope you have a joyous Christmas and New Year!
Seriously that is the best idea I have seen floating around blog world- I would love to win one because I am pretty sure I couldn't pull it off, even with instructions.

If I don't win, I'll have to thrift store hunt some leather and make one of these quickly. Love it.
I just found your site a few weeks ago and get so excited when I see a new posting in my Google Reader. You keep me entertained during 2am feedings. Thank you!!!
Awesome as always. Like I've said before, how is it that you don't have your own TV show.
You're amazing and love how you always share with us. Merry Christmas.
Absolutely amazing ~ you and your creations! So generous. Thank you, Cathe. I have those same images from Xander Graphics. Awesome shop! Have a warm and lovely weekend! ~ Angeal

Fantastic ipod cases! Now I have a challenge. Several family members have Kindles (those awesome electronic readers from Amazon). I'd like to see a cool cover/cozy for one of those. How about it?
Great idea. My husband has an iPod touch that he keeps hinting at that he needs a durable case for. These look perfect!

What cool cases! I recently found your blog and I'm loving all your things you make. I'd love to have a case like this for my ipod touch.

These cases are great! My phone needs one!!
Cathe- you never cease to amaze me! I love the cases- count me in! And thank you for all of the great freebie images and tutorials!! Merry Christmas.
Goooorgeous! And guess who *just* got an iPod touch during early east-coast family Christmas yesterday! And was just commenting to her hubby how she needs a case! Tres chic! And I really like the idea of repurpousing purse leather! Go green! merideathx@hotmail.com
Oh yes, count me in … I know several people that would be happy to find this under their tree.
I asked for an iPod touch for Christmas! At least if I win your case (hint hint) I will have a reason to go buy one if Santa doesn't come through for me! Happy Christmas! Thanks for making us smile! xo-jeni
What a great idea!
Tracey
You Rock! Those are incredible and so unique. Way better than something you buy at the store. My husband really liked them as well!
You are so clever…I'd love to win one of these:} Please let me know if I win by commenting on my blog or email: http://con-tain-it.typepad.com

I want one! I might have to make one for my husband, too, though.
Those are fantastic! How cool!
I don't have an ipod, but I'm tempted to get one just so I can try this project.
Love the idea of recycling old purses for the leather, too.

Cath – you should go professional! If only Steve Jobs knew anything about the world of crafting, you'd have about a zillion orders for your adorable phone covers.
I also took a brief minute to photo some of my creations and reflect on the creativity I'm pouring into this hand made holiday season. Let me know what you think!

I tried to read through and see if I saw the answer to my question; did you actually iron on the image to leather? I love it, however you did it, and I feel lucky, since this week I won a door prize somewhere for a giant sized remote control! And Ipod case would make me feel younger than a giant sized remote would lol. Thanks so much for all you share! Karen
These are beautiful and I'd be honored to be entered in your drawing. Merry Christmas!
Been looking for a great case for my new ipod touch and this one is awesome!
I don't have an iTouch, but my hubby does…what a great excuse to "borrow" his!

Cathe, Those are amazing! You do such a beautiful job and you are generous to boot!

very nice.
yes, wool felt works – i used it for my cell phone's case.
Hi! I'd love to enter your contest! I don't have an Ipod touch or an Iphone, but my boyfriend of 3 years do, and he desperately need a case as beautiful as this! I consider it the perfect gift.
Being an exile Swede in Oslo, Norway (the proably most expensive city in the world) and with VERY limited skills in graphic design, and computers in general for that matter, I follow your blog daily. Always an inspiration.
Have a nice Christmas!
/ Tanja, Oslo
Ohthis look like a really exciting project! I cant wait to try it!
thanks for the tut!
Beautiful! I wish that I weren't away from my sewing machine right now!
These are great!! your daughters' will be thrilled.
Whoopee! More things to try to make before Christmas! You are so inspiring….

tatonv@unr.nevada.edu
awww sighh, these are so creatively fresh, beautiful, and practical. A nice flare to the everyday accessory/necessity. Once again, you are a genius!!
Great project. I've been using a sewn leather iPhone case I made a while ago, but it's not as "designed."
My question about the transfers is: Are you basically covering the surface entirely, and just printing background colors, and trimming the edges so the leather and decal are flush? Doesn't this sort of make the leather into a sort of "pleather" with the decal bring vinyl and limiting the original leather's suppleness?
Curious what you thought about that.
This is the coolest craft that I've seen in a long time. I love it. What a great idea.
Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for sharing!!!! I'm totally going to attempt to make one of these… that is.. if i have too!
You have some of the best tutorials and diys…love your site! Hope I get to win one of your iPod cases!
So cool…still need to make a few gifts and these are perfect! Hopefully I can win one too!
karynjhnsn@yahoo.com

Merry Christmas!

If Santa shopped at the apple store for me, I think I will be making this as well.
what a nice idea that can be made into a personal gift. thanks for posting the know-how!
While relaxing in bed with my husband (as he was reading an old-fashioned book and I was reading your blog on my new iPhone), I sat bolt upright with a "this is the coolest thing ever!!!" when I saw this post. I love the juxtaposition of old and new–who in those vintage photos would have ever imagined such a thing as an iPhone?! And I know your daughters will love their gift and treasure the time and thoughtfulness that their mom put into it.
So, yes, please enter me in the drawing! I would love to own such a lovely piece from such a talented craftsperson!
Amanda
I'm waiting to see if i win before i start making one. Although i already have in mind what old bag to deconstruct. Thank you.

You are sooooo talented, you make me sick! ;-> This has got to be the best handmade gift.

This may be one of the coolest things you have ever made…and that is saying a LOT! AMAZING! Count me in, because I can't sew, so I can't make my own!

I came upon your site today and when I saw your iPod/phone case my heart almost stopped.For anyone that makes or buys crafts, you know the feeling of longing, salivating and finally wishing to posess the article.Well, now that would be I.As Meredith in Grey's Anatomy so famously said in an episode:"Pick Me, Pick Me.

What a clever girl you are. I love these and thanks for the tutorial. I think I may even have some leather scraps to try my hand at it if I'm not lucky enough to win.
Well, I've missed out on the drawing, but still want to pass this super tutorial along to our readers at SewingBusiness.com blog. Thanks for the info!

Stunning! I have a new iPod Touch and your pattern and ideas are perfect for it. Thanks so much for sharing. And I've added you to my "favourite" bookmarks now!
Amazing ! Creativity and talent has no borders. I want one of these iPhone cases.
I would like to give my thanks to you for posting this along with taking the time to digitize the pattern. I have since made two with your base design and would love to email the pics to you to see what you think. again many thanks.

Next time try using tape to hold the two pieces together and to keep them from shifting. If you are using a transfer on the leather, don't ruin it with tape. Either roll a piece of tape and stick to the inside, or use a small amount of adhesive to glue the pieces together near the edges where the needle won't go through and it won't glue the cavity for the iPod. I hope that helps.
thanx for the idea! i will try it tommorow, thanx for the quick reply!
VERY neat!!
Are you kidding me!! WHY OH WHY did I not see this in November? I could have made these for Xmas gifts. Dozens. Now I’m just plain mad! Why am I the last person on earth to find your site. My goodness what have I been missing. Well, better late than never, right?
I have joined the party and will be back soon!
What a wonderful use for an old family photo. Thanks!

I can’t believe how gorgeous your stuff is. I didn’t see a single thing I didn’t like. I wasn’t able to get the template, but I am hoping to duplicate this with my own measuring/tracing of an iphone. Thank you for the inspiration!
