eReader Case

I have a Nook coming in the mail! I scored an awesome deal on it! I am excited and we all know that with a new 'toy' means you have to get all of the accessories. Upon perusing the merchandise available online, I decided I didn't like any of the cases, so I had to make one!

I was going to wing it and figure out something, but without the Nook actually being in my possession, it would have been hard to do. I couldn't find many free patterns online, but I did come across this pattern from Birdful Stitches on Etsy.

I was nervous to try it (it was my first solo pattern sewing project), and after only 2 mistakes (nothing severe or too major), I was pleased with the end results.


It even has an extra pocket that will come in handy!

Someone got jealous of the attention that case was getting. Mental note on first Nook Book purchase: "How to Train the Untrainable"

Now let's hope the Nook actually fits in it! :o)

I will be linking to these parties this week. Have a wonderful week!

    I got the same pattern when I got my nook months ago and I love it...although word of caution, the orange fabric I used dyed my nook so you might want to wash your material if you make one in darker colors.
