A Kindle Case

My son Jack received a Kindle for Christmas and he loves it!  He takes it to school and back every day so that he can use it for reading time.  He asked me to make a case for it and tonight was the night!  I asked Jack to choose fabrics from my stash and when he showed me these I have to admit I was a little surprised!  I thought he would go for some dark flannels but not Jack!  I used a heavy weight stabilizer and only broke my needle twice!  The inside is lined with flannel.

I added some navy (with his permission) to keep it looking boyish.

The back is simple.

I have to add that I made it twice.
  It was wider and it was bothering me so I cut it up and worked on it
some more!  Now it is a nice snug fit for the kindle.


While I was making his kindle case, Jack was making me a wallet!


(this was the first go at the kindle case, it is wider)

I just love my new wallet!  It has a deep extra pocket behind the pocket for bills.  He said the extra pocket is for my "crap" like receipts.  Ha!  He knows me well.


As for a WIP Wednesday Report:
Everything I was working on last Wednesday is still in progress.  LOL!

Quick note about Duke:


He actually poses for pictures now! 

I'm linking up to freshly pieced WIP Wednesday. 
And Finish it Up Friday with Amanda Jean at
