In honor of “National Sewing Month” here is a great tutorial I found on the nationalsewingmonth.org website for making a Kindle or iPad cover. In this video she shows you how to attach a pocket to your project which includes a zipper. A nice bonus feature on this cover which will give you a place to keep keys, money or your cell phone when you are out and about with you kindle/iPad.
Here are the supplies and written instructions (pdf download)
If you want to “up-cycle” an old suit coat into a a laptop cover that’s for that man in your live, then take a look at this tutorial found on “That’s my Letter”.
Don’t have a wool coat to cut up? You can find plenty of them at your local thrift shop or yard sales. What a cool way to re purpose old suits. I love this idea! This would be great to make and send with your college student to protect their laptops as they walk between classes.
Make it personal by appliqueing the outside with initials, names, or favorite sports teams!
