All these long projects were not satisfying the A.D.D quilter in me, so when my hip old granny asked me to whip up a case for her new android tablet last night, I was more than happy to oblige!
I didn't follow a pattern as such, just added about an inch to the tablet dimensions, and sewed a simple pouch. The blue flower fabric is Heather Ross, not sure of the origins of the yellow, but it was in my sash and uber cute. I lined it with some Anna Maria Horner flannel so its really floofy and soft :-)
I also got a little bit creative with the ol' perle cotton, but that was more for my benefit than granny's!
Hoping you've all had a lovely weekend! Mine has been filled with small graces such as partner allocations in the Mouthy Stitches swap, roast dinner out with family, an unexpected visit with a 6 week old puppy, and of course the obligatory kitty cuddles :-)
what a lovely cover and I love those fabrics
ReplyDeleteLove the pouch!! I have some of the yellow birds in my stash but also don't have a clue what line they are.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover, the hand stitching detail is a lovely finishing touch! Good luck with the commission!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colours! Good luck with your projects and love that you have a hip granny. Would expect nothing less.
ReplyDeleteSee this is why I need to learn to quilt, so I can make one of them! It looks amazing
ReplyDeleteLol, I have to take my 87 year old gran to get an iPad this week, I can see something similar being added to my 'to do' list!
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute, LJ. The hand stitching totally finishes it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWish I got a kitten cuddle today - he's too cool to hang out with me today. That is until he gets scared of a bump in the night :)
i think granny will love it!
ReplyDeleteGot to love your groovy granny xxx
ReplyDeleteCute pouch :-) Hope the big projects are going well too!
ReplyDeletethe perle stitching is the perfect finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat pouch...the only thing missing is a zipper and you could have been my partner. Very cute. Do tell more about this puppy!
ReplyDeleteLove the title of your post. Yes, a small, quick project is just the thing to give you a sense of accomplishment. I love the android pouch-- the fabrics, the hand stitching and flannel lining-- very clever! Glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to make Granny an android case. I hope my grandkids will be influenced n=by my love of sewing and take it up someday.
ReplyDeleteThat's one hip Gran you've got! I don't even know what an Android is!!!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteI love that mustard fabric too. I've got some in my very first quilt that I have yet to finish even thought its been going for well over a year and a half!
ReplyDeleteYeah for being busy :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute pouch and very cool Granny!!
Cool Granny - even more so with this lovely!
ReplyDeleteSmall graces required here please because I am about to implode. But I may save myself with the box of Lindt I bought today when it just seemed the only answer!
