I finished sewing my kindle cover yesterday, and I love it! Very functional + cute. I used this tutorial:
Make a custom Kindle cover, and fabric from my stash. The cartoon-books fabric was intended for a bag to haul library books around, but I can do a patchwork-style bag with the leftovers. I cut up two old diary/planners for the stiff cardboard inserts, so it was a good recycling exercise. :)

| Propped up for reading |

| Folded flat for hand-held reading |
 |
| The back (with cute fabric!) |
 |
| All tidied away |
As with all of my sewing adventures there were a few moments of frustration, but for once the problems were easily solved (i.e. cutting down the cardboard inserts when I discovered the fabric sleeve was too narrow). If I ever make another, I'll add padding to the inside surfaces for extra protection in case of clumsiness.
Wow! Really professionally done!!!
ReplyDeleteI had wanted to get a kindle, but now if I do I'll still be jealous of yours! ;) :P
Thanks Rowano! Some of the stitching is a bit wonky, but I'm probably the only one who would ever notice.
ReplyDeleteHint: refurbished Kindles are very reasonable. :)
When I get a kindle I will need one of those covers - it's professional but also cosy and homely, best combo!
