She's Crafty

She's Crafty!


I recently joined Pinterest, which is basically a virtual bulletin board for blogs and websites.  For the crafty, it's more addictive than anything illegal.  The first project I did was a Kindle cover for my husband which is from the blog Come Together Kids.  Click that link for their instructions, I won't duplicate, you should head over to that great blog anyway, but I will tell you the modifications I did.

1. I used fleece instead of quilted fabric.  This meant I didn't need to hem it, just glue it down.

2. I sewed.  I sewed the pocket and the elastics.  It was quick and I'm a sewing moron so don't sweat it.  I did all the sewing pre- hot glue.

3. I changed the direction of the pocket so the open side is facing the spine.  This is so you can put it in the book and close it and it won't fall out.
