I based it on this wonderful tute by Amber, I'd previously pinned the original, (thanks **Nicke), but it was revamped during Fat Quarterly's fantastic 12 Day of Ruby Star.
OK, so I had to re-calc the measurements (**Nicke, I forgot you had already worked them out until I was ironing on the velcro!), but this easy to follow iPad case tutorial was just the ticket.
I had the bird print as a scrap from Sew Fresh Fabrics, no idea what it is, and worked the Ta Dot, Dumb Dot, Metro magic around that.
I decided to put the bigger print on the back, as the flap would have overlapped it on the front, and I hoped for the best with my none-to-accurate 1/4" seams and the bulk of the cotton velvet I used for the lining.
It fitted like a glove... phew!
Cute! My mama got a kindle for christmas too, I'm trying to persuade her that a Laura-made case is much nicer than the purple leather one she got with it..
ReplyDeleteLove it, gorgeous colours :-)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! Love the dots :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous case! I already made a Ipad case with Amber's tutorial but now I have to make myself a kindle case as well. The to do list is getting longer :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours! I think I have to walk to my machine and do a little sewing ...
ReplyDeleteCan you believe I went and bought a purple book opening case for my new Kindle? But before you recoil in total horror I plan on making a case for the case. :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Beautiful fabrics! Always a relief when things fit! Jxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a lucky Kindle! (And lucky mom too.) Love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThat is one lucky Kindle rockin' a case like that.
ReplyDeletePretty kindle case. Thank goodness it fit! I like the birds and pretty blues.
ReplyDeleteOh it's gorgeous - I pulled out fabric to make a case for my iPad on Boxing Day but ended up using it for a drawstring bag - no idea why! Will maybe have another go soon. Love the colour combo <3
ReplyDeleteLucky mum! i love the colour combo
ReplyDeleteOooh, velvety interior AND a bird? Great work and good thing it fit!
ReplyDeleteooooh, what a lovely cover - and in my fave colours too
ReplyDeleteLooks super!
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous! I need to make a cover for my new ipod and I like the idea of a velvety inside...
ReplyDeleteThat looks fab! I have to make on for my dad's birthday pressie in a couple of weeks (I'm giving him the Kindle too) I hope the Kindle actually arrives soon, as apparently the new one is wee-er than my one, so don't want the poor thing falling out!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, your Mum will be delighted!
ReplyDeleteAww, it's so nice when people spoil their mums! What a lovely treat.

ReplyDeleteGreat case, looks fab. Ive started up a linky party Tutorial Tuesday for any posts you write where you have used a tut or written a tut of your own. Feel free to join up next Tuesday, I'd love to have you and it gives everyone an idea of how well a tut works
