Sleeve-2010-07-28-13-22.jpg
As you might already know my family recently bought an iPad tablet! Which we all fight over because it is so very useful!!! I decided to check up on the Sew Spoiled Laptop/ eReader sleeve pattern and at the same time make this adorable iPad sleeve! While I was cutting I realized a few things and I want to share them with you. Especially if you have this pattern already or if you want to buy it for covering a tablet or eReader.

You will still need the Sew Spoiled Laptop/ eReader Sleeve pattern it will show you how to add straps, how to install the zipper and over all how to make the sleeve. If you are making a sleeve for a tablet like the iPad or an eReader this update is for you!!!!

It is easy to adapt the pattern to these devices just subtract 1/2" less than what is state in the original Sew Spoiled Laptop Sleeve instructions.
Then I followed the Sew Spoiled Laptop/ eReader Sleeve pattern word for word until you go to sewing around the sleeve. I used a 3/4” seam allowance to make it snug but not too tight. :)

Did you know that Apple has sold approximately 3.27 million iPads! Wow!

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
