Cynthia Rowley iPod Case with Maggie Gyllenhaal Pla

Top Designers Auction Custom iPod Cases and Celebrity Playlists for Breast Cancer

Cynthia Rowley iPod Case with Maggie Gyllenhaal Playlist

From the creative mind of designer Cynthia Rowley, this unique approach to an iPod Case is a Do-It-Yourself knitting kit including all the materials needed ~ and yes, instructions are included ~ to stitch together a one-of-a-kind pastel paisley iPod pouch. Add your own personal touches or follow the designs provided, creating a truly "one-of-a-kind" case while enjoying great tunes. Persian wool yarns in gorgeous vintage hues, a color printed template and accessories are the foundation of a couture case for the brand new 40 GB iPod (included) with a personal playlist selected by indie film star Maggie Gyllenhaal.
