My husband has a new technology toy (read that: "keep your hands off my ipad'), a Kindle Fire DX. Actually, a pretty cool little gadget. We are doing some traveling soon and he requested a cover for the Kindle. I stopped everything else I was working on for this little "emergency" project.
The design needed to include:
- Fit easily into his carry-on bag.
- Ensure the device would not fall out with all the jostling of travel.
- Include a place for reading glasses and the charger
- Selection of fabrics that would be recipient-appropriate!
And this is what I came up with:
The pocket in the front is expandable and perfectly mustached!
For his required accessories....
Mission accomplished! My husband is really happy with this and I had fun! Another win-win! What do you think...should I make this my first tutorial?

ReplyDeletePlease do a tut. My hubby is so supportive of my quilting, I have been thinking of making him a manly cover for his tablet. And yes he needs a pocket for his reading glasses so he doesn't lose them all the time. Cindy/ bluemoonstencils@yahoo.com
