During the Easter holiday I was able to catch up on a couple of sewing projects. The main project was finishing off pattern testing a carpet bag (more about that to come in another post), but a quick project I needed to do was to make a case for my iPad mini.
Last year I was lucky and won several FQs of
fabric from the Fabric Yard and I thought it time to put the Kokka Green Apple
to good use. I searched on the web for a free tutorial, but couldn’t find
exactly what I wanted but found plenty of inspiration. So, with some Kona Sprout from Simply Solids for the
lining, some fusible fleece from U-Handbag, a zip from my stash and a scrap
of leather, I set about making my own pattern.
It was very much a process of trial and error involving some
unpicking and some unfusing of the fusible fleece, but I’m pleased with the final result. It has a little zipper pocket for headphones
and there is enough room in the main pocket for a stylus pen and the iPad. I didn’t take photos whilst making the case
and so I can’t offer a full tutorial, but I could put together a basic set of instructions
and a pattern if there is any interest. If you omit the zipper
pocket, then this project would be very simple and suitable for beginners.
Do leave a comment if you would like me to create a set of instructions.
Wow, thats brilliant, I love the fabric. I dont own one of those ipad thingamybobs ( ;o( ) but Im sure the instructions could be adapted to fit something else. :o)
ReplyDeleteI have other things that would fit nicely into a pouch like that and would love to see instructions if you make some :-)
