Mod Striped Tablet Case

By Rose Beck

Sixties retro meets high-tech with this mod-inspired tablet case fashioned with strips of brilliantly hued leather. The body of the case is unlined and easy customization means you can quickly make one for each of your various gadgets. Tips for sewing with leather are provided, but faux leather or laminated fabric may also be used.

LEATHER
(Cut sizes are given for a standard iPad;
see Customize Your Case at the end of
the instructions to alter the dimensions

Most leather is sold by the skin or by
the piece. Remnants are sometimes
available. Calculate your project
requirements before purchasing.
Instead of leather, faux leather or
laminated fabric may also be used.
