iPad Folding Case Camera Hole Tutorial

This tutorial is how to install a camera hole on your already made Sew Spoiled iPad Folding case. The epattern is available in Sew Spoiled's Etsy shop. 
Disclaimer: Please be careful trying this on your iPad folding cases. You can ruin a great case if you are not careful.

Step 1: Place a mark on the iPad case where the camera is on your device.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 2: Cut a scrap piece of fabric measuring 3"X 3". Center the 3"X 3" fabric over the camera marking.
Pin in place, do NOT pin the elastic. You can even fold the elastic over the corner so it stays out of the way.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 3: Draw a rectangle measuring .5" X .75" around the camera marking.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 4: Sew around the rectangle. You might have to sew three sides and then adjust the case and sew the last side of the rectangle.
This is how it should look when the rectangle is completely sewn.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 5: Cut a line inside the stitched rectangle, then cut tiny lines toward the corners of the rectangle. 
With super sharp scissors carefully cut away the excess fabric and interfacing. Be extremely careful not to cut through the rectangle stitching.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 6: Push the fabric through the hole and press the fabric with a hot iron.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 7: Sew around the rectangle opening.
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 8: Trim away the excess fabric and use Fray Check to cover the raw edges. 
✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
Step 9: Place your iPad back into your case!
Enjoy playing on your iPad!
Best wishes and tons of stitches!

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. We used a 1.5
