Tutorial: Easy quilted iPad sleeve

Sarah from Thrift Store Crafter shows how to make a quick and easy iPad sleeve. She gives the dimensions to make one for a standard iPad and also for a mini. It’s made from two coordinating quilting cottons, quilted to help protect your iPad from bumps and scratches. The edges are finished with bias tape and a button keeps it closed. She made hers in just 2 hours, but that includes time to stitch the binding down by hand. She says it can be done much faster if you can stitch the bias binding all by machine. Go to Thrift Store Crafters for the how-to.
