Tablet Cover

These are pretty badly lit photos, but here they are anyway. I made a tablet cover for one of Mike's friends. I had the measurements and tried to find something similar-sized to use to make sure it would fit. I tried it about 3 ways and then finally went back to the same tutorial I used for our laptop case. It is a great tutorial! 
The fabric is black twill, vintage football player lining (also featured in the baby quilt I recently finished). The middle layer is a fleece to add some cushion. I made a pocket and also used green thread for top stitching. I had some wiggly stitches around the opening, it was definitely hard to get such a thick area of the cover through the machine, since the opening was small (compared to a laptop case).
Anyway, the good news is that Mike's friend likes it! (I was planning on doing another one if it didn't fit right, or looked too sloppy.) I was stressed and putting it off and then just powered through on a hot evening in the studio!!
