I don't always sleep well, and since my husband got up to watch his Red Sox, I decided to make a pouch for my daughter-in-law in Mexico, about 2:00am last night. I ordered her a yellow kindle fire and thought it'd be nice to have a pouch to protect it and carry it in. I measured my kindle and added about 1.5 to 2 inches extra. I used the foam interfacing, When I finished I took my kindle out of it's case and tried to put it in the yellow pouch. Oops, too small. I decided I'd make another and added about another 2 inches to be sure, too big. I added a couple of snaps to keep the fire down and since I was out of the foam used 2 layers of cotton batting. Then, I realized that I had ordered her kindle fire an inch smaller than mine, so the small one might fit after all. Have to wait until Sunday when it's delivered to find out . I finished the two pouches about 6am.
Of course, going to share this with Sewcanshe's Show off Saturday. |
