Hello from Phoenix AZ. I’m going to make this today.

[@lindajohansen7644]

These look great! I think I will make some for my family members. Your instructions are so very clear. Thank you!

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Hi Sara! I'm just settling down to sew yet more of these wonderful tablet stands - thay are fantastic, and so easy to sew. Anither White Gecko triumph!! Xxxx

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Wonderful!

[@velmafullmer6214]

These are great! If you add a loop with fold fabric or ribbon to the top point, you’ll have it to put you charge cord thru to the lPad.

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Oh love that idea! Fab. Sx

[@tinaevans7584]

I know it’s been a few years but love your tutorial. Also wondering where you got your big ruler for cutting. I’m in the US and have never seen one that big before. Thanks for the video.

[@marnieandersen2807]

What a great idea, I will make myself one and one a bit wider for my husband to read a book in bed!!

Feeling great here’s the weatheris beautiful here. In Australia

Great video. Thanks for sharing. 😃

I’ve made one of these but from another video, wish I would’ve seen this for the suggestion to NOT FILL TOO MUCH, project is now done and the iPad sits too straight, doesn’t lean enough!😢 I will now try for my phone! Just a couple of suggestion here, I’ve put in a type of boning in for the small area where the device actually sits and love that. Secondly, you could use a small office chair with wheels, 😆 I found mine at a thrift store and it’s fab!

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

boning idea is fab! thank you. sx

What do I do if I want the stand to be more upright compared to slouchy? I need this for iPhones.

[@marybrown6419]

Did you make your ironing board? If so, how? Well, your flat board.

[@susenjustesen7959]

Fun and friendly teacher

[@jonesanimallover]

Great video...can you use rice as a filling?

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Absolutely, bit heavier but it works. I'd still use fluff in the front roll section

[@caronward6699]

Hi just wondered if you can do an iPad stand with the loop at the top for the cable thanks Caronn

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

i'll have a look at that for you. sx

[@jackieharrison3908]

Hi , I’m just following your great tutorial. I noticed an error. When you mark the 2 lines you say mark the first line at 3.5”and the second at 4.5 “but you marked the second at 4” leaving a gap of .5 “ . I’m guessing what you said is incorrect but what you did was correct ?

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Absolutely!! It's a gap of 1/2" needed. Just said the wrong thing. Sx

[@lynnebarker4982]

Like this, nice and easy thank you

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Glad you like it!

[@lynnelowther1673]

Just made. One making 6 more they brilliant

[@kathrynaltergott4039]

I have the same problem you do with the fabric. Not giving it up either.

[@marybrown6419]

Did you make your flat board? If so, how?

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

we have a pattern on our website for a cut and press board - quite an easy little make. Thanks for watching

[@sharonelliott3901]

Can you use poly pellets in the top section

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Yeah that would work, it would make it heavier but that's OK, bit sturdier

[@fionamoody5035]

Great thanks, i used this one and another tutorial as i liked the loop top rather than the button but everything else i followed was yours :-)

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Glad it helped!

[@MsDstarr]

Do you have a tutorial for your pressing mat?

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

we have done this as a zoom class but not as a tutorial as yet, the pattern is on our website though.

[@MsDstarr]

@@whitegeckocraftlounge483 thank you

[@MsDstarr]

What is the amount of bean bag fill in cups do you think is enough for this size please? Thank you.

[@whitegeckocraftlounge483]

Probably about 10 mugs full of the poly beans would fill this size? You don't want to overfill it
