  2. Sewing: Marimekko Sleeve

    September 13, 2010 by sunrisesister

    So N made a ‘business purchase’ of an iPad not long ago. I say Business Purchase, because we all know really that we both had Tech Lust, and his dying laptop is about to bite the dust (so he gets mine) – we spend lots of time squabbling over it.. Reading Asterix comics and playing Cat Physics on the big screen is apparently REALLY GOOD.

    But the STM cover we bought is crap. It’s not even actually an iPad cover. It doesn’t fit (thanks, NextByte) so I whipped one up. Using some really nice expensive Marimekko fabric teatowl and some polar fleece. But I am not 100% happy with it – it needs more padding and perhaps a closure. Still, I have two bits of fabric teatowels, and can get two out of each piece.

    It’s a little rough around the inner edge, I know. But refinement will have to wait, as sewing time is limited. Especially when you are busy cutting yourself with a rotary cutter and watching your son spill an entire tin of pins over the floor.. GAH!

    I am thinking of doing an inside-out fleece inner sleeve, ala Foof bags. This gorgeous sleeve will also be girly enough to ensure the iPad stays with me :P

    This is dedicated to E, who’s iPod clock/alarm is set incorrectly, leading to me being woken by this song VERY LOUDLY in the middle of the night.

    WAKE UP IN THE MORNING FEELING LIKE P-DIDDY… hehe
