Simple 30 minute Tablet Case Tutorial

Bags· Purses

I love quick sewing projects! Here is a 30 minute tablet sleeve I made for my Ipad Mini. Its a simple cushioned case with a Velcro strap closure. I am not exaggerating when I say 30 minutes. Taking the pictures took way more time than the actual project.

 

 

You really don’t need a pattern for this design. You simply measure your tablet and add 3 inches to the length and 2 inches to the width. For the strap you can do a 3″ width x length of tablet measurement.

Here is what you need (Ipad Mini)
2 pieces 10″ x 7″ outer fabric and fleece interfacing
2 pieces 10″ x 7″ lining fabric and thick batting
2 pieces 10″ x 3″ strap fabric and fleece interfacing
1 piece 20″ x 2″ strip for upper binding
2 large buttons
 Velcro

Step 1

Cut out all your fabric pieces. Iron on interfacing to the wrong side of each of the outer fabric. Sew on batting to the wrong side of the lining pieces. Iron on interfacing to one of the strap pieces.

Picture shows fabric with interfacing and batting attached.

Step 2
Sew together your lining and your outer fabric all the way around leaving the top opening of each open. (I am sorry, I am forgot to take a picture of this step)

Step 3
Take your lining piece and fit it into the main fabric piece wrong sides together.

Step 4
Make your binding by taking your strip and fold it inwards on both sides.

Step 5
Sew your binding all the way around the top of both your outer and lining pieces. Simply fold it around the top and sew it close.

Step 6
Sew the two pieces of your strap together right sides facing together. Turn it inside out, fold in the ends and top stitch the opening close.

Step 7
Sew on your strap to the middle of the back of the case.

Step 8
Attach a Velcro closure to the front strap and sew on decorative buttons.

I don't believe that it is possible to do it in 30 minutes. In photos it looks easy, so I will try to do the same. Hopefully it will be Tablet Case ) I use this blog for new ideas of handmade stuffs and https://essaycool.com/ to write essays. Thank you, very interesting post.

The process of assignment writing is very comprehensive and interesting. The details are taught in the graduation and higher level of studies. The skills are given and refined so they achieve success.

This is really cute! Thank you for sharing! Maybe it's just me but there seems to be a few words in your lingo or maybe it's supplies or even a technique, either way I'm totally clueless as to what your talking about LOL!

Interfacing
binding
*iron on interfacing to the wrong side...
It doens't say anything about iron-on materials in the list of what's needed.
then you go on to say *sew on batting...
I've actually never tried this but you can sew on batting? & what is it going to look like on the outside of the fabric. I mean am I sewing it on the edeges in the center how are we going to cover this up? I'm sorry if I sound nit picky, I'm just trying to picture it & it isn't making sense! I would like to know this info before I start a project that claims 30 minutes to complete! LOL! :)

Also I noticed you don't show if your using a machine or hand sewing. I'm assuming because this is a fast craft that your using a machine....?

Thank you so much for sharing your craft with the rest of phlebs!

I was doing fine until I had to sew two pieces of material and two pieces of batting together - I gave up after the third needle snapped! I guess I need heavier weight needles or something!
