Diy Kindle Keeper. The Cutest DIY Kindle Cover. Ok fellow sisters...this past week was Little L's first day of kindergarten! So needless to say I have been a little preoccupied with back to school jitters!! Much more so than my little L! She was more than happy to step onto that bus and ride all the way to kindergarten all by herself! My little girl is so brave and growing up too fast! And so in case you were like me last week; busy with back to school.
Materials: *Fabric (preferably two different patterns that go together) *Matting (like the kind used in quilting) *Elastic *Iron on velcro *Fabric button *Basic sewing supplies *Sewing machine Getting Started My cover is made for the Amazon Kindle with dimensions as follows: Length x Width x Height 7.5 in x 4.8 in x 0.335 in I used this formula for measuring and cutting all my material (L + H +1) x (W + H + 1) This formula will help you make your measurements whether you have this exact kindle or not. And make a cover for the nook or even an ipad. I found this formula to be extremely helpful. Viola! Make a custom Kindle cover.

If you’re a fan of reading, you’re probably a fan of the Kindle, Amazon’s awesome wireless reading device. And if you’ve never heard of Kindle, you should check it out, because the Kindle is taking the reading world by storm.
The Kindle is compact, lightweight, easy to operate, and usable in direct sunlight. The best part is that its memory can hold thousands of books at once, out of hundreds of thousands that are available for download! Like any good electronic device that you’ve invested money in, you’ll want to protect your Kindle with a cover. Ideally, it will be a useful and protective cover that’s also inexpensive. Tall order, right?
So that’s just what I did. But first, a word about Kindle models, sizes, and other devices… HAVE ANOTHER DEVICE? WANT AN IPAD COVER? Now you just HAVE to have one, right? Now for the big sewing! DIY: Kindle Case | The Spotted Fox. As you know, I got a Kindle for Christmas and, as it turns out, I love it. The only thing I don’t love is the the sky-high prices for cute Kindle cases. The cases from Kate Spade are around $90 each, and the other, less fun options still run about $40. So the other day, I decided to break out my sewing machine for the second time and attempt to fashion my own custom case. I’m not going to really explain the steps because, to be honest, there was so much improvisation that it’s difficult to even recount what I did.
I love the way mine turned out, even though it’s kind of wonky in places. Now, onto the pseudo-tutorial! I decided I would make it more like a simple pouch, a rectagular sleeve with an opening at the top to slide in the Kindle. First, I sewed the towel inside two panels of canvas-like material measuring about 1 1/2 inches bigger than the Kindle. Next, I sewed those two panels together on three sides leaving one side open.
Here’s what the opening looks like: Kindle Case | Dixie Mango. You know how I posted this tutorial ages ago? Well, I wanted to show you how you can change it up. Introducing the Kindle Case! Ain’t it cute!? So, I used the same basic formal for the iPad case. (Short size width x 2) + seam allowance + thickness + fold for flap = X Length + seam allowance + thickness + topstitching + wiggle room = Y Then you have a piece that is X by Y and then add the flap like explained in the previous tutorial. Since my friend that I made this for is going to be doing some traveling, I thought the compasses to be fitting! I still prefer to have a real book in my hand, but you know… if it’s your thing, then this sure is a fun way to make it all pretty!
