Instructions: Sewing a Kindle case | Free pattern

Sewing a Kindle case: There’s something cozy about a Kindle case like this. And with my simple tutorial, even beginners can quickly sew a fantastic e-reader sleeve. The sewing pattern for the Kindle case is available for free. :)

Sewing a Kindle case – Fast, easy, beautiful

It is the perfect gift for avid readers – or for those who write their own: After all, a notebook wants to be nicely wrapped too! Sew the Kindle case in the favorite colors of your best friend. Or in your own! :)

If you prefer your pouch's flap to have a straight edge, simply leave out the "swirls" – the free sewing pattern allows for both variations.

These fabrics are suitable for sewing the case

You can use a pre-quilted bag fabric for the lining. Then you don't need to reinforce the fabrics.

All non-elastic fabrics are suitable, such as:

• Woven cotton^* (e.g., chambray fabrics^* or Kokka fabrics^*)
• Linen fabrics^*
• Corduroy fabrics^*
• Denim fabrics^*
• Canvas^*
• Decorative fabrics^*
• Tyvek^*
• SnapPap^*
• Faux leather^*
• Felt^*

These materials you need at home

• The free sewing pattern - please print at 100% and assemble
• Fabric for inside and outside (we love polka dot fabric^* for projects like this...)
• Approx. 130 cm of bias tape^* 2.5 cm, purchased or homemade
• Decovil light^* (iron onto the wrong side of the lining fabric)
• Vlieseline H250^* (iron onto the wrong side of the outer fabric)
• Sewing thread^*

What other materials do I need?

• Rotary cutter^*
• Fabric scissors^*
• Patchwork ruler^*
• Sewing machine
• Pins^*
• Fabric clips (I like to use my Magic Clips^* because they stay firmly in place!)
• Iron

1. Before you start sewing, you can attach a button or Velcro to the inner and outer fabric
2. Place the prepared pieces wrong sides together and secure them with fabric clips

3. Now bind the straight edge with bias tape.

Tips and tricks for sewing on bias tape can be found in this post :)

4. Now place the fabric in front of you with the outer side facing down and fold the bottom 15 cm upwards

5. Now bind the pouch all around with bias tape

Here I made a straight edge and additionally quilted the little pouch with a straight stitch and decorated it a bit

Have fun sewing (and reading) and Happy Simple Sewing,
