Protect your shiny new tech toy from dings and scratches. With a bit of felt and a few seams your tablet will have a protective sleeve that you can embellish to reflect your style.

Watch Mimi’s video: It’s like inviting a friend to your home to sew along with you.

Two sizes to choose from: Mini and Large.

Tip: Use coordinating thread to help hide any uneven stitching, or use a high-contrast color to add interest.

Tip: Substitute any sturdy fabric for the felt in this project: Canvas, denim, leather, suede, and fleece are good choices.
