Kindle Cover

In the March Birthday Swap on Craftster, I made a Kindle cover for one of the birthday girls.  She said she likes pink and gray, and things that are vintage or girly or sparkly, and I noticed a lot of cats on her Wists and Pinterest.  So I dug through my fabrics, and maybe you heard me scream for joy when I found this pink and gray cat print!  It's purr-fect!

It needed some sort of fabulous embellishment.  I know I love to get things that have been personalized for me, so I added her initial (H for Hannah) inside a scalloped circle.  The circle and letter were both cut from wool felt using my Sizzix machine.  I happened to have a clear plastic button that adds a little sparkle to the cover. 

Hannah had sent me a birthday gift just a few days earlier--she crocheted these cute little critters that she saw on my Wists!  They seem to approve of the Kindle cover!

I made up my own pattern for this, and sadly, my first attempt ended in disaster--the Kindle mock-up I made out of foam-core board could barely squeeze inside--I'd made the durn thing too small!!!  When I was feeling calmer the next day I made this one quickly and easily, and the Kindle fits!  Yay!  And Hannah LOVES it.
