Kindle case

I've been working this year on making something new with my sewing machine every month. Last night I decided to make my item for April, and it ended up being WAY easier than I thought it would be! Everything I learned in a recent zippered clutch class at Fabric Bliss made it easy to put together this  little case.

I got a Kindle Touch for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I have a leather case with a light already for it, but I was always worried about getting the leather case scratched up when I put it in my purse to carry around. I had seen a lot of cute soft cases on Etsy, but I was pretty sure I could make it myself.

Turns out, I really could make it! It took about an hour and a half. I was shocked I was able to make it so fast. I love that it fits so snugly and I don't have to worry about my Kindle getting scratched up. And it's super cute! It's polka dot on the outside and a really cute grey houndstooth on the inside. There's padding to make it extra safe for my Kindle. I love it!

Mission accomplished... he likes it!

Happy day after Mother's Day! I hope you got to enjoy the day with your mom, or if you can at least talk to her on the phone. I'm writing this the week before Mother's Day, but I plan to Skype with my mom, and my mother-in-law will be in town staying with us! I really wanted to make something for my mom and mother-in-law this year. I can only make so many random things for myself, so I love getting to make things for my family! Sorry family, expect homemade things for Christmas and birthdays this year... I'm having way too much fun to stop! My Mother-in-law Karen has a Kindle Keyboard and a Kindle Fire. Conveniently, both devices have almost the same dimensions. Sweet! So I made her a soft case for whichever one she chooses. Jason went to the fabric store with me and helped pick out the fabric. He specifically wanted something purple. We picked the outside fabric first, then had a bit of trouble finding a coordinating fabric for the lining. When Jason saw this...
