iPad Covers!

Yesterday, our original plan was to head to Disneyland to get some all you can eat BBQ lunch.  It was super windy, so there's no way we wanted to leave the house.  We pretty much played with our iPads until midafternoon.  It was nice to spend a gloomy day indoors.  =)

I typically store my stash of fabrics in two 26 gallon totes.  It finally started overflowing.  I'm glad I found a new way to store them.  I got the idea from Smashed Peas and Carrots.   Now each one is a mini fabric bolt.  It's not color coordinated, but it looks way better than before.  I'm already running out of shelf space though (see below).  I'll worry about that later.  =P  Instead of buying the comic book boards, I got some movie backings from Blockbuster.  They were having a going out of business sale.  So I bought 5 sets of 20 for $5.  For most I just used one small movie backing, but I taped two together if I had a large bundle of fabric.   Best idea ever!  Thanks Smashed Peas!  =)

into this...




Anywho, now I can see my fabrics so I really wanted to make cases for our iPads.  I gave Doug the fringe look.  It was a tricky one, but I liked the way it turned out.  It's a thick canvas, and the inside is a tan suede.


I'm still trying to figure out how to keep it closed.  If we fold it down, it's kinda bulky.  I was thinking of winding a rope around it all.  Hmm...could possibly work.  Also, must look for a way to attach a strap of some sort.  It'll be easier to hold instead of hugging it at the time.  OR make him a second case.  One that's waterproof.  He has a pair of snowboarding pants with a giant hole in it.  I can totally use that for a case! 

Here's mine.  I used the same concept as the fold-over bag from Noodleheads.  I love this print!  I'm so glad I got to put it on something I'm going to be using for a long time.  =)

Yay for smilies!
