iPad cover

dear Hubby got an iPad for his 35th anniversary gift from his company. Couldn't BELIEVE the prices for covers in the stores, so I found this one (chicaandjo.com) and made it up with a leather-look mat'l and used foam board on the inside. Super-easy to make!

"just a tote"

made using the 'new' laminate material (like what those of us old enough to remember called oil cloth, but sooooo much better!) and screen-stuff like you'd find in a pre-made pet carrier (soft and pliable). ignored directions and made the outside be pockets (why would the directions call them pockets, but not have them either sewn down or have openings?) and added the inside pocket. Wish I had made everything from the laminate material, which was pretty easy to sew on. I DID NOT pin it, but used my quilt clips (those little red/clear things) and they worked like a dream at holding the screening and the material.

Al & his side-pack (not backpack nor fanny packz)
