Sewing

​iPad finished loading and all is well 

I will go over the weekend and organise the eSIM 

Meanwhile I wanted to sew something a little taxing to see 

How the machine would work. 

I decided I needed a quilted case to keep the new, expensive, toy 

Safe and sound 

I grabbed the bag of too think to use as binding, but too large to throw away 

And some batting and I set to work 


I slowly stitched all the pieces in a haphazard way, quilting as I go 

I kept at it  mixing and matching  trying to make it pretty  

I then sewed a backing fabric and bagged it all out  

I even decided to add a binding  to keep the two sides safely bound together 

Front and back view  



It’s too thick to use the plastic poppers  right now I’ve left it as is 

But I do have a plan  

If it works  I’ll show you 

It is thickly padded and it fits exactly, so the iPad doesn’t move about 

So I now have a very secure case, used more scrap fabric and tested the machine   

Which I am so happy to report worked like it was brand new 

So it really was my tools, not my ability that was causing the problems 

I was starting to doubt myself

  2. What an amazing creation!! It's lovely. I was going to knit a bag for my tablet this winter. Never got round to it. Yours is thickly padded, perfect!

  4. This makes me think of doing something similar for my tablet. I'm more likely to knit or weave it, though.
