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.

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.

Returning to work after ostomy surgery should not be rushed.

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. :(
