iPad Mini Case with Appliqué

I finally have some time!  A much needed two-week break.  I *plan* on doing some sewing this holiday break and some blogging and some relaxing and some reading . . . we’ll see how it all goes with two little ones under foot!

Plus, I’ve been trying to spend time on this little side business, Teachers Pay Teachers.  It’s an awesome resource for teachers, but I don’t really want to inundate this (crafting) blog with teaching resources.  That’s what the teaching blog is for.  I am blogging much more over there these days, but that is what my life is consumed with, it seems, work.

However, I was able to get in a bit of sewing today!  When the new iPad minis went on sale last month, Jordan was one of the first to grab one.  Actually, Fed Ex dropped it by our house.  He’s been patiently waiting for a new iPad case to fit his new toy and I finally made one for him today.

He wanted it to have a zipper, but, well, that didn’t work out so well.  So, instead, it’s a sleeve with bias tape sewn on not so well.  You’ll have to overlook the horrible top sewing.  Other than that, it’s a great case.

Jordan chose the fabrics, cut out the applique pieces and attached them with heat n bond.  He did an awesome job!

Jordan is now the proud owner of an iPad mini envelope!
