iPad Sleeve

Given that I have no iPad, and have never even held one in my hands, I wanted to follow a tutorial to sew an iPad Sleeve with exact dimensions for this Christmas gift. Made by Heidi has detailed instructions, exactly what I was looking for!

To modify the design a bit, I added an outer pocket to one of the side pieces (surprise! I add a pocket to everything!). Stitching down 4 times got me 2 pockets and 2 pen pockets.

For some extra padding, and because I had leftover fleece but no batting, I made the lining out of a thick fleece. Both sides of the binder pieces are covered by it. It made the lining a bit more voluminous and I almost didn´t get it fully inside the shell. But after handstitching down the lining to the zipper, everything turned out fine.

Nice and sturdy, and with a super soft lining! I hope this one will be a hit under the tree :)
