Every now and then I like to surprise the Hubs. Today I worked on a project just for him. I was able to get my Crafty on and my Nerdy on all in the same day. Hubs got a tablet. It needed a cover. I made him one. But not just any...a personalized one.
Okay so it's an Android.
I followed the basic tutorial from the Cottage Home. I just made a few adjustments. For the android cover I cut out fabric that was 11x8 but if I make any more I might add on half an inch more on the length and height so it's not as snug a fit.
I used some heavy duty denim that I bought some time back. It felt good to use up some of my stock I already had. I used bright green broadcloth for the android applique. The lining is neon green fleece. I used a simple button and elastic loop closure.
I already have several projects that I have lined up that I want to work on but for some reason I really wanted to work on this today. I wanted to make something for the Hubs and he is all about gifts that he can use. It's not every day that I am able to surprise him. If he doesn't like it...I'll just sell it on Etsy. Kidding of course. He loves it. I love that he loves it.
