I mentioned I'd bought fabric the other day, and now I've turned some of it into a sleeve/cover for my iPad. I made this up as I went along, and while it has worked well and I'm pleased with the finished object, I might modify it slightly another time.
I used navy linen for the outside, thin cotton wadding for the middle layer to give it some padding, and Liberty Tana Lawn in William Morris's Lodden design for the lining and the trim.
As you see, it opens flat and has a central strip of fabric to hold the iPad in place, then the sides are folded in and it is secured with a button and loop.
It was great fun to make, especially as I was winging it and I haven't sewn in ages (it's been so long that I needed the manual to remind me how to thread the machine), and the lawn is lovely to work with. On to the next project!
Brilliant!
I would also have to find the manual if I wanted to use my sewing machine again.

It's gorgeous!

Very nice indeed. By coincidence I am using this Tana lawn pattern to sew a Summer dress, with bands of plain dark blue. I'll think of you every time I wear it.

It's funny how a small thing such as having to look up the manual can put you off getting out the machine, but in the end it took only a few minutes' refresher before I could start, and I'm glad I did it.

Thank you, Darlene. I can see its flaws, but on the whole it's turned out fine.
