My dear husband got a Kindle for Father’s Day.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s pretty hard on his electronics, having shattered 2 or 3 i-phones and dropped his iPad several times.\u00c2\u00a0 I knew this Kindle was going to need some protection.<\/p>\n

The first line of defense was a padded mailer envelope.\u00c2\u00a0 That actually works very well but it is not attractive.\u00c2\u00a0 I covered the address label with a photo of the grandchildren, but it still looks like an old, recycled mailer envelope.<\/p>\n

My guy is the ultimate Gator fan.\u00c2\u00a0 He has a closet full of Gator shirts as well as caps, slippers, calendars, neck tie, boxers, long flannel jams, etc. etc. etc.\u00c2\u00a0 But he did not have a Gator Kindle cover.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s what I would make.<\/p>\n

When we packed to go to our cabin in North Carolina, I bagged up the Gator head applique’, blue ultrasuede, sleek gray fabric for lining and orange commercial bias tape.\u00c2\u00a0 I planned to make a cover for his Kindle while we were in the mountains.\u00c2\u00a0 And I did. But it surely isn’t representative of my best work.<\/p>\n

I’d like to share with you some of the things I learned on this project.<\/p>\n
