I found a fun tutorial on how to make my own kindle cover. The ones online are like $20! Well, I picked everything out and
got the wrong bias tape. Three stores later I find out that they don't
make the kind I want in the color I want - so I just got some that was a
little more pastel instead of bold. It still worked out well, in my
opinion. I added the flowers for a little fun... not sure if they look
as good as I hoped, but it's mine so I don't have to worry about what
anyone else thinks. I really do love the fabric I picked out.
My fabric all cut out
Can I just say that I am not the biggest fan of binding; and yet I am. I love how easy it is to make things look "finished" however it isn't the most easy material for me to work with. It takes some finess and it seems like I have none. I'm just thankful that my sewing machine is so wonderful.
One last tip. Make sure to buy the 'sewing' velcro .. that means without sticky on the back. I hand sewed mine (and broke a needle in the process) because I didn't want to hurt my machine.
I'm just very happy that I've got somewhere for my kindle to live (other than it's box). I would suggest maybe putting a piece of cardboard or something sturdy where the front of the kindle is. As this one stands, I can't put it in any bags b/c it may crack. It's still better than nothing, though.
As always, comments are appreciated.
