Summer Sewing Projects-Kindle Case and Bag

August 20, 2012 By JulieK

Oh, that’s right :) It’s sewing season :) Here’s another project I made up… I bought the fabric because I LOVED it, orange is my favorite color (I know I’m weird, I’m OK with that!).  The wave fabric is Amy Butler, and I don’t remember who made the other one, but when I saw them I knew I had to make something with them… I found a couple of patterns… Here’s what I made, a cover for my Kindle, and a cute reversible tote.

The Kindle pattern was by Binski’s Studio on Etsy, easy to follow, and how cute! Here it is closed.

And opened up… It has enough padding for me to just toss it in the bag…

And, speaking of bags, here’s the super cute reversible bag that I made… The pattern is from Michellepatterns.com, I didn’t follow her instructions for the handle because my printer is out of ink :) So, I just made straight handles, they work :) and I love how it came out :)



I think the bag took me all of 30 minutes to make, easy instructions, I plan to make several more (maybe with the “real” handles) with some really cute fabric that I’ve been hoarding :) the pattern has several different sizes included, Kathryn has already put in her “order” for what she wants… Summer vacation’s almost over, I better get sewing!

    How sweet and creative! I just LOVE the Kindle cover and wonder if it is adapatable for us NOOK owners? Keep it up, and you are going to have to start holding Summer Sewing Classes for the rest of us Sewing illiterates.

    Kathleen!! Thanks so much for the sweet comments!! I have to look at the pattern, but I’m 99% sure that there are instructions for changing the pattern to fit other readers… I’ll let you know when I see you at Card Club!

    Very cute Kindle cover! ;) It is so hard to find a cute one for a reasonable price, I never thought of making my own. :)

    Love your material choice! We have two Fires and need a third in our home, we live on them. I’d love to make a soft cover, thanks for the idea and for linking up!
