Kindle Reader Case, Easy Sewing Project, Great Christmas Gifts

[@bookshelfbunny]

In the Canadian praries, in summer it's light out at like 4am. But in fall/winter it doesn't get light out until like 9am 🥲. I am used to it on account of living here my whole life, but it can still be really hard. I call 5am devil o'clock, for the record. I try to wake upbthen so I can get some writing in every day...but in really bad at waking up that early. "Social hangover," girl, I get it.

You have such a pretty design asthetic. I peeked at that fabric store....oh my, thats way too dangerous! Thanks for this!

[@lisasnyder2811]

I love these. Beautiful fabrics. I love your videos

[@markmooney5662]

Lovely idea and great use of some scraps...might make one for myself too . Grace and peace to you and to all Gilly wife of Mark in Norfolk UK

[@Louizalass]

Wonderful! I've just ordered the Fabric with Sayings! Although I live in the UK, ''luckily' my daughter lives in Texas so I got it sent to her to send on to me with her next parcel of grandkid's 'makes' etc! xx

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi , I’m so glad you ordered this fabric! I love mine and use it all the time. I put an iron on adhesive on the back and and cut each out separately. Ready for the next project!

[@rachelburgener819]

Awesome, smart shopper ❤️😀

[@bevcote2357]

Thank you Julia. Great gift idea. Blessings.

[@freedamarino1283]

I have a IPAD that I can make one of those. I love my audio books to listen to while I am quilting. Thanks for the cute video I will make one. 👩‍🦳

[@janehardcastle9602]

Lovely gift idea, thank you for sharing!

[@laurawhittaker7217]

Happy holidays Julia!

[@janetwest8379]

Julia, beautiful project, love your creative ideas. I am pushing 70 and still love the feel of a book. Have a great day be safe and Happy.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Janet, I so agree about the books. I love turning the pages and holding a book. I often wake up in the middle of the night. (What happens to our sleep pattern we we age?!) I can turn my e-reader on without turning on a light. The Paperweight Kindle is so easy on the eyes and I find I use it a lot. Thanks so much for watching, Julia

[@danellcypher2730]

I love this case! Thank you

[@bridgetwhite5547]

That's so cute. Thanks Julia. Hope you're well and safe too. 🎄😘

[@carolyoung3793]

Love these holders I’m going to try one for my I pad ...thank you xx

[@evepaludan7713]

This is the perfect gift for my granddaughter's tablet. So excited. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@tawandaaiken203]

This has been the best and easiest way for me to make a case. Thank you!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I’m so glad this video helped. Thanks for watching!

[@shirleydrake1602]

Like you, I find I am really enjoying my Audible subscription. I listen to books constantly. I bet I have gone through 150 books in the last year. YouTUBE also has audio books for free. If what you want to listen to is on there, it’s great. Just enter your title and up it will come. I love this pocket idea. I need that for my cell phone. I need it to attach to me somewhere, like a neck tie or a waist tie. I lose that thing all the time! I can use my apple devices interchangeably, so I could put the phone in my home made pocket and,listen to my books while I am doing anything , walking, cleaning, sleeping etc. keeping a device , such as a cell phone next to your body is a health hazard because the device is constantly searching for a satellite signal, even when turned off. To fix that, I would sew a piece of tin foil inside, on the body side. Flexible screen wiring might even work, if it’s actually metal rather then plastic. Anyway...thanks for the how to video, your cases are lovely. The black one is so masculine and sophisticated, any man would love it.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Shirley, Thanks for the tip with the KZbin audio books. I will check into this. I like to listen to books when I'm riding in a car. I get motion sickness when I read but listening is great! Thanks so much for watching, Julia

[@gabrielle9870]

Thanks, my mom will definitely be of great help.

[@RebeccaStokes-g6t]

This is just what I need for my reader! Such an inspiration to use some of my vintage feedsack scraps to make one! Thank you💕

[@ollyonthemoon]

Hi Julia, thanks for the video! It's a cute and simple way to protect the kindle and I'll surely try to make one. Thanks for sharing!

[@twistedtreehomestead904]

Very nice, and a great idea! Seems easy so I think I’ll try it, thank you for sharing!

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Love this case Julia ! you have so many great ideas and I love all of them ! Thanks for sharing this so handy project.

[@marilynanderson4109]

I'm gonna try this one. handmade covers look so nice. Thanks Julia!

[@pamketron]

Hi Julia - Such a fun cover and cushy too with the foam. These would be great for lots of other things too. Love the decorative stitches you added. Hand made gifts are the best. I’m sure those that receive one of these will be happy!!! Hope you are doing well. Stay safe & sane. Hugs! ❤️🎄🎁

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Pam, I hope you are doing well. I am currently in your beautiful state! We will be visiting family in northern FL and then picking our daughter up and take back for Christmas. It is a weird time to travel but we are social distancing etc. So far the weather has been great and we are enjoying getting out and exploring. I hope you are doing well, Christmas is fast upon us! Julia

[@pamketron]

@@stitchesbyjulia Wish you were close to my area I would love to meet you some day. Be careful out there in this crazy world! Glad your daughter is getting to come home for Christmas with you. I know she’s happy to see you. Stay safe sweet friend. Love & Hugs. ❤️🎄

[@patriciamcgarr3183]

[@HeatherAbbott-bd3cm]

I am interested in making this but I notice when you started you left a big bit at the bottom left that you did not sew a strip on to cover?? Did you sew one on at the end. I’m confused. It is obvious at 1.56. You started strip piecing in about an inch and a half. What did you do with that corner?

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, Cover the entire piece of foam with strips.

[@brendabiffibaldovino8306]

💝💝💝

[@Sarah_810]

I’m confused as to the measurements. The kindle is 6.5x11, and you cut the foam 7x11- but you say it’s 1.5” more in distance around. Wouldn’t that be 12.5? New to this. TIA!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi, I may have misspoke. The important to do is give yourself enough room. If you use a thicker fabric you need more.

[@Sarah_810]

@@stitchesbyjulia thank you. 😊
