How to Create a Kindle Case

Great Changes have taken place in people's reading life because of the appearance of kindle.There is no denying that Kindle is unexpected and practical.Reading books and magazines on the go, Kindles can play on the Internet. If you’re in the middle of a great book and find yourself with time to kill during your busy day you’ll want to take it with you.But when leaving the house, you probably should put it in a pretty carrying case.Today I set Kindle Fire Slip as an example.


You need to prepare: Elastic Cord
 Flannel
 Fabric
 Button

Step 1:
 2 pieces of outer fabric cut to 6 & 5/8″ wide x 9 & 1/4″ tall
 2 pieces of pocket panels cut to 6 & 5/8″ wide x 6.5″ tall
 2 pieces flannel or other soft, non scratchy lining cut to 6 & 5/8″ wide x 9 & 1/4″ tall
 Elastic, about 4-5″ long (we used 5″)ButtonSeam allowances are approximately 3/8″
Finished dimensions approximately 6″ wide x 8.5 inches tall. For reference, Kindle Fire measures: 4.7″ x 7.5″ x 0.45″

Step 2: Identify top of the pocket flap, fold over 1/8″ to wrong side and press, fold over one more time to wrong side and press. Edge stitch in place. Step 3: Lay the envelope flap on top of the exterior fabric right sides up. Sew along the two long edges so the pocket flap is secured and does not shift. If you would like to divide the pockets into sections do so now.

Step 4: Using your elastic or other button loop identify the top center point of one of the panels (make sure the size of the elastic will allow you to sew a button in place; it should easily slip over but also secure the case opening. Fold the button loop in half and secure the raw ends to the raw edge of the fabric, and backstitch to secure in place.

Step 5: Next place your flannel on top of main panel (right sides together), sew the top edges together. Press seam allowance toward flannel.

Step 6: Line up the two long pieces with right sides together. Try to match up the lining and exterior fabric joints. Pin around the edges.

Step 7: Sew along edges of this long panel.You can choose to began mid-way along one side of the lining fabric (flannel) and stopped about three inches short of closing the seam. You’ll need to leave this area open to turn the piece right side out. Clip corners.

Step 8: Turn right side out. Use a chopstick or knitting needle to gently push the corners out.

Step 9: Now stitch the opening shut. You could hand stitch this or use a sewing machine.

Step 10: Push the lining into the slip case and press around the top edge.

Step 11: Roll the top inward so the flannel is less visible.

Step 12: Stitch around the mouth of the slip case so the lining doesn’t flop around.

Step 13: Sew the button in a sensible location so your button loop can easily slip over it.

You can put your kindle in it now.It's a quick and economical project.I have to mention that you probably need other cases like a pesonalized ipad case.Come to Snapmade to create what you want.
