Tutorial: Splash proof iPad case to bring to the pool

I like bringing my iPad with me to the pool.  But I’ve got to be careful where I keep it, and I become a little like a crazy lady when a dripping wet child stands too close to it.  There’s ane easier way !  Jess from The Sewing Rabbit shows how you can make this splash proof iPad case.  It’s made from oilcloth so the surface is waterproof.  Now, sewing on oilcloth can be tricky because it can ‘stick’ to the bottom of your presser foot, but her method for sewing this iPad case keeps the oilcloth from coming in direct contact with the bottom of your presser foot. Smart smart!!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
