How-to step by step...
Step 1
Start by cutting out the front & back panels as illustration above. Fuse interfacing to wrong side of all four pieces.
Step 2
Cut out the following as illustrated above. Cover button in fabric. See my craft technique 'How to make a covered button with a button kit' for a quick & easy way to cover a button.
Step 3
Pin the tiny pom pom trim along the top edge of the front & back lower panels. So that the pom pom trim sits 1cm from top edge. Using a 1cm seam allowance stitch the pom pom trim in place.
Step 4
Place the top front panel right sides together with the front lower panel. Using a 1cm seam allowance stitch the pieces together. Press the seam allowance to the top. Repeat with back panels.
Step 5
Place the stitched front panel on top of the cotton wadding. Pin to secure in place.
Step 6
Top stitch the front panel to the cotton wadding, 6mm above seam allowance.
Step 7
Baste stitch the front panel to the cotton wadding, 6mm around entire edge. Repeat with the back panel.
Step 8
Fold the elastic lace strip in half. Pin to the top of the back panel at the centre.
Step 9
Bar tack elastic frill loop in place.
Step 10
Pin the lining right sides together with the back panel along the top edge. Using a 1cm seam allowance stitch the pieces together along the top edge. Press seam open. Repeat with front panel.
Step 11
Place the front panel to the back panel, the lining to the lining, right sides together. Pin to secure in place. Starting at the bottom of the lining, using a 1cm seam allowance stitch the pieces together , stopping 6cm away from where you started. Leaving a small gap to turn the ipad cover through.
Step 12
Trim and zig zag the raw edges. Clip the corners.
Step 13
Turn the ipad cover right side out. Slip stitch opening in lining closed.
Step 14
Push the lining inside the outer cover so that the seam lies along the outer edge.
Step 15
Top stitch 6mm from seam along ipad cover opening.
Step 16
Stitch button to front
Step 17
Pull elastic loop over button to close.
Step 18
Your ipad cover is now ready to use
