Quilted Tablet PC Cover. Hi Everyone!

Quilted Tablet PC Cover

I had the opportunity to be a Creative Guest at Ucreate last month. The tutorial I shared was for a Quilted Tablet PC Cover. I wanted to re-post the tutorial on my blog in case you missed it A Tablet PC has been on my wish list for quite a while. With the money I saved combined with some Christmas cash, I was finally able to buy one! I've bought a few accesories for my tablet.

Next, cut your second fabric piece to the same dimensions as the first piece. Super cute sewing tutorials. Have you visited Anna Graham's blog Noodlehead yet?
