Quilted Tablet Cover!

I wanted to bring my kindle with me to use some of the apps on the go, but I did not want to scratch the screen in my purse. This desire sent me to my fabric stash. 

I found these cute fabric quarters, given to me by my sister.  Thanks sis!  It was fun to make this quilted cover for my kindle.  You can make a cover for any tablet by following these instructions.  First measure the width and length of your tablet.  

Then, cut out enough 2” strips to cover the width of my kindle.  Make sure you have at least a ¼” overlapping on either side.  For the length make sure your strips of fabric are long enough to cover the top of your tablet with again ¼” overlapping. 

Next, sew the strips together and iron flat.  

Layer the sewn strips with batting and a backing fabric of your choice.  Quilt. 

Bind the top of the fabric. Then, fold over.  Sew.  

Bind around all the unfinished edges.  

I used Velcro to hold the top down.  You could use snap or button and loop, too.  Enjoy your new cover!
