I got a kindle for my birthday. This was some time ago and I didn't really think I needed a case for it as it seemed quite sturdy and I really didn't want to bulk it up, most of the cases you can get can easily double the size of the indle.
Anyway, the other week I put it in the wrong pouch in my handbag, my key pouch, and it got scratched :( I was gutted as it was my own stupidity that did it but I have been driven to create a case that is suitable for me.
1
My measurements were kindle width + 1cm x 2and a third kindle lengths. This allows full enclosure and enough for a lovely flap.
2
Trim the corners from the end you will use as the flap.
Check against your kindle how far you should fold to make your pouch and pin in place.
I used a contrasting embroidery thread but you could use yarn and it would also look good in a similar or tonal colour.
Blanket stitch up one side of the pouch, keep going round the edge of the flap and stitch down the other side.

*Optional step*
Stitch on your snap fastener.
If you don't have or want to use a snap fastener just leave it as an open flap and tuck it in for security.

Put in your Kindle and enjoy. Knowing your Kindle will be (new) scratch free.
