the birthday kindle case
2012
Saturday’s birthday stitchfest also produced a very sweet little kindle cover – Julian’s birthday present. The cover that is, not the kindle … that came a long time ago.
I used a beautifully thick, stiff, pure wool felt from Winterwood – they use it primarily for building houses and toadstools etc. It sure makes for lovely construction. It’s a simple envelope design – the side seams are blanket stitched using crochet thread – and I continued the blanket stitching around the flap.
The boots – why, we ARE boots :-) And look at that boot on the left – it makes a “J”, yes? J Boot. No need for any initials or names here! And simple running stitch in the same colour used on the boots, for the band that holds the flap in place.
Simple, sturdy, perfect. He loves it. And I think I’m more than a bit addicted to the lovely thick felt. Hmmmm …. my stitchy imagination is running over.

That kindle case is a beauty! I see an Etsy accessory shop in your future, Lily! That is very clever!
What a great idea! I bet the felt helps keep the screen clean too. I might have to steal this idea.
Happy belated birthday to Julian and now happy birthday to you!
