I tried my hand at making a kindle case last week and I finally got around to taking some pictures. It's my first time using a lining on something. I also experimented with a sort of reverse-stencil dyeing technique. I wanted to do sort of a "Steampunk" bent for it. :)

I think that looks really nice. I think the reverse stenciling turned out good too. I like the effect.

I really like it, the cogs turned out well, and your lining looks very tidy compared with how mine turned out (I just finished my kindle case). Like the wood skin on the kindle as well.

Thanks Guys!

For the lining I just used contact cement to fold over each top edge (it's just one piece folded like the outside) once that was done I used contact cement on the wrong side of the cover and the lining and pressed them together. Once set I grooved the tops of the cover, ran the stitching wheel and hand sewed the tops.

Then I glued the edges (One thing I did was cut the lining just short of the sides so the lining was not between the edges of the side)and hand sewed the edges.

I had a lot of fun making it and I'm happy with how it turned out. :)

I really love the skin on the kindle. It's from Amazon by a merchant called "Decal Girl". Here's the link:
