iPad case





I have an iPad for work but it has this huge bulky case, I needed something smaller to hold the iPad when I go out for event. This tutorial work for  and tablet, just make sure you measure it correctly

Here is the materials I used:

  • Felt 2 sheets : $0.29 each
  • Fabric: $4/yrd
  • Self adhesive Velcro: $1
Total cost: $5.58

Thanks so much cheaper than one yo get in the store!

I place the ipad on my main fabric and cut  the width of the ipad plus 1 inch on each side. For the length  I cut the height of the ipad times 2 plus about 6 inches for the hem and the flap.

I cut a second smaller piece to make the backing to the flap. I curved the edges for that envelope type feel. I first sewed the flap and then iron on the Velcro  Be sure to check that the Velcro lines up.

Next pined the felt to the inside of the main fabric  (doing all this inside out to hide the sewing) I sewed the body of the  case with a zig-zag pattern for extra cuteness. Aft the body was sewn I sewed all the way around the opening to secure the felt.  For next time I would sew this first since it was a pain in the butt to do it after the body was already put together.
