You know how I posted this tutorial ages ago? Well, I wanted to show you how you can change it up. Introducing the Kindle Case! Ain’t it cute!?
So, I used the same basic formal for the iPad case.
(Short size width x 2) + seam allowance + thickness + fold for flap = X
Length + seam allowance + thickness + topstitching + wiggle room = Y
Then you have a piece that is X by Y and then add the flap like explained in the previous tutorial. This time I decided to make a curve instead of a point. I liked it better for this small cover.
Since my friend that I made this for is going to be doing some traveling, I thought the compasses to be fitting!
I still prefer to have a real book in my hand, but you know… if it’s your thing, then this sure is a fun way to make it all pretty! Who knows… maybe one day I’ll break down… at least for when I travel… maybe… probably not, but maybe.
Ta for now!
Thanks for the great tutorial! Whipped one of these up in about an hour and it’s perfect.

Hi there! First of all, I just discovered your blog and I’m in love with it! My to-do list for this summer has already grown by a few items after seeing your tutorials… Anyway, I’m pretty much new at sewing and I wanted to make a couple kindle covers. I’ve tried before, and I had a problem with the lining “bunching up” as I “folded” the fabric. As long as it was a long, flat piece it was ok, but when I folded it up it’s like it was too big. Can you help me? :S I feel so silly asking, I’m sure I’m making the most elemental mistake here, but I’m stuck! Anyway, thanks a lot!
It’s so gorgeous – your friend is going to love it! And I’m crying after reading your blog about Jack – you are going to touch so many lives with it, I know! What a testament to God’s faithfulness and your faith!
Thanks, Amber! That is my prayer. hugs to you!
