iPad Case

The other day I was playing with my fun batik strips that I pulled from the scrap box at my LQS.  I love all the colors they had in there that day.  I am guessing that they must have been cutting kits because they are all in the same color pallet and range in size from 1.5" to almost 2.5".  

They look so pretty in their little bin.

I was thinking that they would be perfect for a case and since I just made a kindle one for mom, why not make an iPad one for dad.  I pulled out the strips that were the most masculine and pieced them together onto some sew in interfacing.     I made the piece for the outside 21.5" x 9".  I added some fuseable fleece and sandwiched my layers with a white lining that I added batik strips to the end of so it looked pretty along the top edge.  

I sewed it (adding a hair tie for a closure in the stitching), turned it right side out stitched up the end, did some straight line stitching, and then tada... all done!

Dad's new iPad case.

Dad said he liked it when I gave it to him.  It took a few days for him to look at it and realize that it was fully lined and soft for traveling... then he liked it more.

I am linking up to Linky Party Tuesday at Freemotion by the River and to Fabric Tuesday at Quilt Story.
