Sadly yesterday turned out greyer than expected, (not in a Christian way), but there was a little silver-grey lining, my Kindle arrived, so I made a case.
I started off with a simple slip pouch, but I really didn't love the baggy elastic/button closure combo I ended up with, so I lopped off the top, cut off the seams and went for a mini version of Ayumi's iPad case.
I added some Vilene S520 to the insides to give it a firm outer, with thick fleece instead of lining and batting, it turned out rather great looking considering it went though a full 360'...
I have only had a little play with the actual Kindle thus far, but having spent more time stuck 'in a book' than anything else, (random tapping and swearing does not work), I am not able to report back just yet, but it looks cool.

such a great case. Love its simplicity, it's so very chic. Simply perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful case for your Kindle, love the cats/tigers fabric.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous case! Hope today is brighter and you manage more reading and less swearing!
ReplyDeletegreat case. I want a kindle. so what's the first thing to read?
ReplyDeleteGreat case! Any thoughts on doing a tutorial? I really wasn't getting the whole Kindle thing when they first started appearing. I love my books. But then I was kindly given a Kindle. I figured it out, pretty much, and decided to take it with me on my vacation. Oh my goodness, I fell in love! I ended up reading a book that would have been quite heavy and large. Not on purpose, it just happened that way. But I realized very quickly that the small compact Kindle was for me! I tend to shift around a lot, whether in bed or in a chair, and I could easily hold the thing over my head lying down or at weird angles for a long time. It didn't matter because it was so light! And I also appreciated being able to pop it in my purse and go places with all the other junk you carry with you when on vacation. I still buy my beautiful hardbacks and I don't always use my Kindle, but I really hope you see its benefits like I did when traveling. I still carry it with me a lot so that I can play Scrabble when I'm waiting on Doctors or car repair or the like. and, of course, I still read on it, but not exclusively. I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeletevery nice. my much treasured holiday kindle is rather old and scruffy now. At the time a security guard accompanied us to the till, now it kicks around the bottom of my bag on holiday
ReplyDeleteI just got caught up reading your last few blog posts. It looks like things are settling back to normal except for Hubby's illness I hope he's feeling better
