I still make things: Ruffled Kindle Case

The snow day today gave me the perfect opportunity to finish a little sewing project.  I used some of my Christmas money to buy myself a Kindle Fire a couple weeks ago when they were on sale for $30 off.  I didn't want to buy a cover when I plan on mainly using it at home, and when I just knew there were be a good tutorial somewhere in the blogosphere to sew one myself.  And, I was right.  I loved the look of the ruffled kindle case tutorial from Just Another Hang Up.  



I had all the materials except for fusible fleece.  So in five minute increments ('cause that's how I do projects now) over the past few weeks I've been working on this.  Until today, when work and school were cancelled and I had time!  


The patterned fabric and the button are vintage, which always makes me happy.  And, this was an easy project - the tutorial was great.  I had never worked with fusible fleece before and I enjoyed sewing it and the results.  Makes me want to sew something else ASAP!

Cute case. I love that fabric. You did a great job. I am also curious on how you like your Kindle fire. Wondering what you will be doing with the other Kindle. Good to save for Miss C?
Love,
Dassa
