I made this today as an alternative to this-------->
...which works great for certain occasions, but for stitching and longarming I was forever knocking it and unclipping it loose.
So today I'm experimenting with my new system.
Using felt and plastic from a recycled plastic container I made a small case that can be worn on my neck.
Keeping it simple; the only embellishment is the charming, vintage, glass button with a loop closure.
... and resisting the urge to bead the necklace end . . . I went with a simple length of piping wrapped with an unfinished strip of batik.
This was more practical anyway as
I need the necklace part to be strong enough to hold some of my other items....
-a simple and useful solution-
Happy Stitching!

Very cool, Kathy!
that's great! I also really (REALLY) like the thread scissors on the retractable lanyard-thingy (I've got one of those and I think I'll copy you).
As far as the iPod goes for me, I plug it into my stereo sytesm in my sewing room and listen on speakers. I don't know that I could function wearing earbuds. I'd probably wind up sewing them into my project.
I have a much simpler (but similiar) pocket on a cord but I found that eventually the IPod got heavy & my neck started to hurt. Now I plug it into speakers on the table and listen like that.
