Hi! I’m so excited to host this new sewing series at Not JUST a Housewife.
I am sure there are other tutorials online for this, but when I searched all I could find were patterns for sale. I didn’t want to buy a pattern—I knew this wasn’t going to be too hard to figure out—and it wasn’t! I did make a couple before I hammered out all of the little issues, but it wasn’t hard and didn’t take too long!
Materials
fabric (outside)
lining fabric (inside)
Velcro square
single side fusible, lightweight interfacing
ruler
Instructions
Now it’s pretty from any angle! I love the way it turned out.
Thanks for having me here Stacy!

I think your tutorial is awesome. I have been sewing for a bit but I consider myself a newbie as I still have troubles. Your tut was easy for me to understand and I think I could actually do it! Thank you, I may be brave enough to try this one!

I'm a novice with my sewing machine and have been putting off really learning for years but this looks so cute and straightforward I'm going to give it a try. I will post about it on my blog hopefully in the next week or two. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you for taking the time to post this tutorial!
I have made several if these as gifts! Quick and easy and so sweet! Instead of the lining and interfacing I used felt though, adds a bit of cushioning! Thanks again!
Angela
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Stacy! If it's not too much trouble, I was wondering if you could briefly explain how would you go about attaching an additional pocket and a button instead of velcro and at what point in the instructions would you do this? Thank you in advance!
Stacy
Unfortunately this was not my post. Another blogger was a guest and she no longer blogs. I have no way of getting in touch with her. I am sorry!

Hi Angela,
I am a beginner as well but for a pocket I would sew it on the outer fabric before stitching the lining as indicated above. So take one piece of outer cloth and sew the pocket on then continue with the tutorial.
The button can be sewn on the case when finished with everything and the button hole on the strap instead of the velcro.
I hope that helps you. I do realize it is a couple months later.

Fantastic tutorial. I have made three of these now. It is a good way to use up scraps of cloth. I also used fleece as my inner fabric. Thanks.

Thanks for this tutorial. I have made three cases now using scraps including old jeans. It is a quick and easy gift to make

I am definitely going to try this. :) One tip, if you don't want to see the sewing in the velcro, you can use fusible velcro. Works like a charm.

Thanks for this I have just made one without a sewing machine so took me a while but it's worked out nicely.

Thanks for a great tutorial. Am a complete novice but managed to follow all the information really easily. Delighted with the results! Thanks again.

Your instructions were perfect and easy to follow. I just finished my case and I love it! I sewed a slightly thick pellon on both of the linings instead of interfacing and it gave the case a nice padding. Thanks so much for posting this pattern and showing us how to make it.

I know this post is 5 years old lol, but I still wanted to say thank you. I used it as a reference today when making a cover for my husband's ipad mini. It was very versatile and provided a great basis!
Thanks!!
