Since I got a new digital drawing tablet for Christmas, I had to make a case for it.
I had two large pieces of velveteen fabric in my stash, which seemed like a great fabric to wrap around my new tablet, since it’s heavy-duty like upholstery-weight fabric and it’s quite soft to touch.
I measured the tablet and added to my measurements for seam allowance. The tablet has a loop on it to store the pen, which is quite handy, so I added that to my measurements as well. I made a small inside pocket to keep the cord that plugs into my computer.
Since I had a couple large pieces of velveteen, I decided to make a second case!
It was a good way to test my own pattern.
I love how snug the tablet fits into each case so there’s no shifting.
This was a fun experiment, and a great way to get me sewing again, which I haven’t done much of lately. Thanks for stopping by.
It’s always a challenge to make something new. They came out lovely!
Wonderful as always.
They’re really cute, Terri! Great job.
Terri, those are so perfect! Seems to fit exactly and looks beautiful! I think I have same fabrics but in different colour and they look totally different. x Teje
Awesome! And I especially love your velveteen use – never thought of that. I have to make something for my new ipad mini. Perhaps I’ll search for a little velveteen.
They are both so pretty! Is it difficult sewing with velveteen?
Thanks Rene’! I thought the velveteen was easy to sew with. I sewed batting and fusible interfacing to the velveteen with random zig-zag lines to give it padding and make it more sturdy. Those layers went through my machine just fine.
Neat. I have never sewn with velveteen. I see you telling Rene’ it’s easy to sew with. I may have to give it a try sometime. I love that you jump in and make yourself something!
The fabrics are so pretty! Love what you did with the tablet covers. They look very durable:)
