The below site has a pattern for ostomy covers (as well as lots of interesting information about all things ostomy).
I have made similar ones but left the bottom edge open as I have an ileostomy and need easy access. Very simple to make even for me as I am definitely not a seamstress!
There are sites where you can get them ready made but it works out a lot cheaper if you can do it yourself.

This is a remarkable community of 40,903 members.
You will get real advice from fellow ostomates who truly understand you - things you won't find in the books.
And it's not all about ostomy - there is friendship and relationships too.
Privacy is very important - your profile is not visible to the outside world.

Well it's just coming upto a year since I had my emergency stoma. Since joining MAOM I have learnt all different kinds of ideas to help with the stoma. Not only that I have made a lot of good friends who I can talk to. The beauty of this site is it's not just giving tips and ideas we talk about anything and everything. So thank you for giving us a great site. XX

You can do it~ I did, the directions are very easy. You don't have to even by material if you have a pillow case or something similar to start with. I wear my cover mainly in the winter season and it is quite nice. If you go to you tube you can see some ladies just use patterned duct tape too.

They are pretty easy to make. I cut a light cardboard template first that I use all the time when I go to make some. I traced around the bag and added a half inch all the way around. I use old T-shirts, the t-shirt material doesn't fray so you really don't have to hem the ends. I will post step by step photos tomorrow.
I tried, but cannot load pics on this site from my computer, sorry. :(
