Last year I treated myself to an ipad. I must admit I don't go very far without it as it contains my 'life'!! I have apps for just about everything!!
Recently I realised that to travel over the pond I'd need something to carry it in - but what? Oh, yes, there are lots and lots of 'things' you can buy but I like to make my life difficult (and I like sewing too!!).
In the pictures below are two neoprene holders which the ipad fitted into (before my scissors got to them!) with a little bit of space round it. Wonderful but not very 'substantial'. Well, they did come from Poundland!! So I took them apart and then re-constructed them so that the 'two became one'. I suppose you could call it a 'marriage made in Jane's conservatory'. Then I set about covering them - you can see two pictures of WIP and my rather 'scruffy' Ipad case!!!
Well, you know me - I do like 'bright' so at the bottom is the finished cover - with integral carrying strap. Isn't that the most amazing fabric? I don't think I'll lose it very easily!!! Now I'm ready to go.
WHAT? I've got a few months to wait? Shame!

Very clever! I love those cool cats!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, there is no way you are going to lose your Ipad, I love the pattern.

Really cute - love the 'cool cats'!
ReplyDeleteA woman after me own heart. This is just the thing i do all the time. Have a lovely beading loom made from coat hangers, springs from a car and bits of wood. Saved me a fortune over the years.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, very bright and cheerful.
It's very pretty! Pink cats, perfect.I am impressed, my life is on bits of paper, and I refuse to carry even a mobile phone around with me! (I do have one, but it lives in a drawer for most of the time.Too intrusive.)
ReplyDeleteTatting and an i-pad - that is an interesting mix!
So, you are going across the pond? Where all are you going? Are you going to the US?
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! I made a cover for my iPad 2 and just love it. Taking stuff apart and making something new from it is like second nature to me, too.
Me thinks I recognize this fabric.... Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo - do you play Angry Birds on your iPad?
that's a very pretty carrier for your ipad! it's good to keep you occupied so we have eye candy... hehehe
ReplyDeleteVery clever! The fabric is lovely, cats wearing sunglasses, just right for a holiday!
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the cats!
