  Step 1

  Start with two pieces of red felt, slightly larger than your iPad.

• 

  Step 2

  Sandwich the iPad between the two sheets of felt and pin around the edges.

• 

  Step 3

  Sew around the outline of the iPad leaving the top edge unstitched.

• 

  Step 4

  Make sure you can slip the iPad in and out of the felt sleeve with a nice snug fit.

• 

  Step 5

  Trim off excess felt from the outside edges.

• 

  Step 6

  Trace around the felt sleeve onto paper to make a template for your envelope.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut two rectangles and two flap shapes from the white leather.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin the two flaps onto one of the rectangles so that they overlap in the middle.

• 

  Step 9

  If you have a pencil or stylus for your iPad, you can make a little pocket for it by cutting a square of leather with pinking scissors.

  If not, just cut out some stamp shaped rectangles.

• 

  Step 10

  Cut out a heart shape from the leather. Colour with a red fabric pen.

• 

  Step 11

  Use a ruler and pencil to sketch out 1/2" diagonal lines around the outer edge of one of the rectangles.

• 

  Step 12

  Colour these in in red or blue, leaving a white gap between each to recreate the airmail envelope pattern.

• 

  Step 13

  Set to one side to dry.

• 

  Step 14

  Repeat the pattern on the flaps on the back of the envelope. I recommend leaving the ink to dry for a full 48 hours before starting the next step.

• 

  Step 15

  Place the stamp shapes, heart and pen pocket in place.

• 

  Step 16

  Sew the stamp, and pocket in place on the front of the case.

• 

  Step 17

  Sew the flaps and and heart on the back.

• 

  Step 18

  Sandwich the felt sleeve in between the two leather rectangles. Sew the top edges to the top edges of the felt, making sure not to sew the two felt edges together.

  Sew around the remaining edges of the envelope.

• 

  Step 19

  Trim off any excess leather, pop your iPad and pencil in and you're all done!
