Mike replaced his broken Sony eReader with a Kindle 4 last weekend. It survived a drop onto a hard floor yesterday, so I thought I would try making a padded cover for it. I cannot claim the design - I bought a pattern from Whistlepig Creek Productions on Etsy. You can see more of her great patterns at http://www.wpcreek.com/. I am a girl in a hurry! I have a backlog of bears waiting to be made.
I wanted to come up with a colour scheme that wasn't 'girly'. Most of my fabrics are very feminine. However, back in the autumn I bought a good selection of quilting fabrics with an autumnal theme. I make no apology for the fact that the colours are unseasonal. We still have 6 inches of snow outside and I didn't want to risk driving to the fabric shop. Perhaps I'll make a few more (when I catch up with my bears) - one for each season!
I hope Mike will like it.
What a great idea. I have a leather cover on my Kindle, but I also have a little 7" tablet that would do so well with a cover like this.
ReplyDeleteHa, I will convert the bear artists... :oD Sorry you had to buy a pattern though, if you'd asked, I'd have given you mine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cover. It looks fab. with the Autumn leaves. Happy bear making
