Kindle or tablet cover – FREE pattern
If you have a Kindle Paperwhite or a nice tablet and you want to make your own holder or cover then here we have a great FREE pattern and tutorial. This tech or tablet cover is both stiff and padded. It’s made from your favorite quilting cottons, backed with a soft fusible fleece and then stiffened with sheets of plastic canvas. Nice and light, but both strong and padded, to keep your items protected.
This holder was designed to fit a Kindle Paperwhite (6 5/8″ by 4 5/8″) but can be adapted for other tablets/readers. Just measure your device and adjust the dimensions as necessary.
Don’t have a printer? No worries with this pattern because it’s a measure and cut pattern, which means you don’t need to print out (and tape together) paper templates. Just measure, mark and cut the pattern right there on the fabric. We recommend a quilting ruler, rotary cutter and Frixion pens (heat erasable fabric markers).
