After my son went to sleep last night, I was reading my Kindle and realized I didn't have a case or any protection for it. Since I treasure my Kindle as much as my sewing machine, I decided to whip something up using scraps from my stash. This is what I concocted... Since I used only scraps, I cannot provide a complete list of my fabrics.
I began with an A4 envelope liner template from Paper Source which I happened to have on hand. I added an extra 6 inches to the bottom so I could fold it up, forming a pocket. I added in some decorative strips, cut it back to size, quilted and bound it and voila! A cozy was born...
This is actually the first quilt top I ever made but I never finished it as I got distracted by bigger and pinker things. This quilt was inspired by Cluck Cluck Sew's Strip and Flip Baby Quilt. This is the quilt top that turned me into a quilter and a year later, it's finished...
I had one set of strips left and I decided to cut them into triangles for a little fun on the back.
Below are the materials used:
Hawthorne Threads: Robert Kaufman - Kona Roll Up - Silent Film

Hawthorne Threads: Aurifil - Black #2692 in 50 wt
I didn't have much time to sew over the Holidays, however, I did manage to make my family new stockings. After randomly assembling stockings over the years for everyone, it's nice to finally have a cohesive set. My husband chose the fabric and I'm really happy with how they turned out. And they were very simple to make. So if we get bored of them in a few years? I'll just make them again out of a different fabric!
