stops it form getting scratched!

Made this for the kindle i've bought the other half for xmas. Looked at buying him one, but then saw they were £25, and knew i could make one easily enough for a LOT less!!

Almost Nothing

  1. Step 1 1

    Take your kindle and draw around it on to some card (i used the amazon box it arrived in!) and cut out.

    Use this one to do another piece of card the same.

  2. Step 2 2

    Using the card as your template, draw around on to the reverse of your fabric, leaving the width of the kindle and card inbetween the 2 rectangles. (this bit will be the 'spine' of the case)

  3. Step 3 3

    Now, lay the kindle on the fabric, and using the kindle as a guide, mark where you want the elastic to hold it in place.

  4. Step 4 4

    Now copy your pattern on to the reverse side of what will be your lining.

  5. Step 5 5

    Now find the middle, where you want to put the magnetic clasp and mark it on the fabric...

  6. Step 6 6

    and attach it on.

  7. Step 7 7

    Now you need to make sure the piece with the other side of the clasp on will fit over eveything.
    Place both pieces of card and the kindle on the fabric, and mark the line where it'll be sewn to the back of the cover.
    now wrap over and mark where the other piece of the magnetic clasp will go when closed.

  8. Step 8 8

    Draw out on to the fabric, then again on the reverse of the lining.

  9. Step 9 9

    Sew right sides together, turn through, and attach the magnetic clasp.

  10. Step 10 10

    At this point i decided to cut down the middle of lining piece, as i wanted the spine to be where the seams were shut. (if you get me, i can't seem to explain it very well!)

    Now take the back piece, and one of the lining pieces (the one to line the front of cover) and pin them right sides together, and starting at the top, sew around 3 edges.

  11. Step 11 11

    Now, on this back piece you'll need to sew in the tab that will close the cover. Make sure you have it pinned the right way. It needs the fabric to match like in the picture
    <-----
    also it'll seem like your about to sew it inside, but once you turn it through it's ok...don't sew yet though!!

  12. Step 12 12

    Now before you sew around the edge, you need to cut the elastic and place it in the middle of your two pieces of fabric (where you marked)

    Now starting at the top, sew around the 3 sides

  13. Step 13 13

    (it should look like this after sewing 2 sides and turning through)

  14. Step 14 14

    and once turned through, should look like this!

  15. Step 15 15

    Now place the card in to the pockets and glue the elastic behind the card.

  16. Step 16 16

    Now take a thin strip of the cover fabric, and sew it over the 2 pocket openings.

    Now you're done!

  17. Step 17 17

    If any of the steps don't make sense, feel free to message me!
