Jubilee kindle

As some of you may have read on in Sundays post, I bought myself a kindle at the weekend.  Having spent money on that, I wasn't keen to fork out £30 for a cover: so I made my own

 This is the jubilee edition, especially for taking on the train with me this weekend to FQ2012.  As a first design there are some changes I would make and when I do my next one (I have decided that you can't have too many kindle covers) I will make the changes
I used thickish wadding and a heavy bag interfacing for protection.  My kindle is nice and snug in there.  And you know that its ok when your 18 year old says 'cool, can you make me one'!

    That looks so cool! It is often better to make your own than to buy one =D

    I have a wonderful pouch with that fabric! I think you will like the Kindle and it will be safe in that lovely case.
