Case/cover For A Kindle?

[Bobby hdflame]

We're giving our daughter a Kindle for Christmas. I'd like to make her a custom cover. Any ideas on materials, patterns, design, construction?

Thanks,

Bobby

5-6oz vegtan tooled with something meaningful to the both of you. Simple sleeve design, stitched or laced up the sides with a short flap to a latch of some sort. Perhaps a strap attached to d rings on the back?

Thanks for the suggestions! My wife got her a cover from Amazon when she bought the Kindle. That gives me some time to think of something special, maybe for her birthday.

I've been looking on here to get some ideas.

I've got this same question posted on the "How Do I Do That?" forum.

I just took the measurements today for a Kindle B/W. I am making one as a gift my boss, our administrative secretary who is retiring in the coming months. She has been a fan of my leather work and she requested it, so off I go. I usually post my patterns on my Facebook site and available for down load to any of my FB friends. I will post pictures on here as I progress with this project if you would like me too?

Good luck.

WildRose, Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out your thread!

King's X, I've never really been on FaceBook very much, but I'll check out your FaceBook page. Do you have a link? I'm sure others on here would love to see it as well. Thanks for offering.

It is at the bottom of my signature page, just click on the link. I worked on the front cover floral design for the Kindle cover last night. Still tweaking it a bit.

Good luck
