From Chica and Jo's
directions, I made my friend a Kindle cover for a Christmas gift. She has a dachshund, so when I saw a fabric with dachshunds on it, I bought it & found color coordinated fabrics to go with it. I cut out one line of three dogs and patched it into one of the lengths called for in the instructions. These directions were created in 2009, but people have been posting under the directions continually since then saying they made this and some posted their ideas of how to improve it. After reading all the posts, I decided I wanted to use the elastic instead of the pouch to hold in the Kindle to allow ease of attaching the charger.
One advantage to this over the commercial ones that are available is that you can prop it up hands free. Two other posters' suggestions I used-covering the elastic with fabric tubes, and coating the fabric with Mod Podge made for fabric to prevent soiling. The Mod Podge made it a little harder to work with on the sewing machine. I did use the chipboard from a 3-ring binder as Chica and Jo suggest. The formula to change measurements for any e-reader are at the end of their directions. It did take me all afternoon to complete, but could probably make another one faster.
