Ok, another Tablet Cover - for my Daughter

Further to my sister's comments, yes, I guess I did forget to blog about the ipad cover I made for my daughter and her kids.

I got her to trace the kids feet and then just straight-stitch appliqued them onto the sandwich.  I chose mostly pink fabric because it is a very popular colour in her house.

Their feet were actually bigger than I expected and pretty much covered the entire cover so I reduced them to about 65% on my scanner and used the smaller sizes.
Cute, huh?

iPad Cover for my sister

My sister got an iPad too so I am making her a cover.  As she lives in Texas, I thought I would use this patriotic fabric for her.  Red is best.  Right?

She requested a pocket for her stylus and cleaning cloth.  Hope she likes it...

iPad cover

New iPad in my life.  It must be covered...

So I used this Jinny Beyer fabric I have been saving.  Worked like a charm, I just made sure the tablet is snug inside there and the friction fit does not require a flap or button closure.  Sweet deal.

I made it in the same fashion as the reader covers.  I use the super heavy 2mm thick interfacing that is fusible on both sides.  Then I sew two pieces of fabric together on the long edge and fuse them to the interfacing making sure a bit of the lining shows on the outside.  I just straight stitch the two sides closed making the fit tighter and tighter until the tablet slides out but doesn't fall out.  Finally I zigzagged very narrowly along the same two edges.  Slick!

It has gotten me a few compliments and my DH thinks he will make me a nice wooden stand for all the hard core video watching....
