Kindle cover challenge

And a challenge it was, but anyone that knows me knows I love a good challenge. I think it was late January when I received an email from the lovely Clare over at Bligger Blogger. She had seen the iPhone covers that I had made for 2 of my friends at Christmas and wondered if I could make something similar for her Kindle.

You can read about it here in her blog post.

Clare knew what colours she liked and wanted something with a seaside theme, she was more than happy when I suggested little beach huts. Seeing as I hadn't worked with leather very much I was a little apprehensive as to how it was going to turn out. But as soon as I started sewing it I was more than happy with the results.

It wasn't all as easy as that though, and after a second attempt we got it spot on. So the first cover had its stitching unpicked and was cut down to make a zip purse.

Clare was a perfect 'Custom Order' customer. Thanks ever so much Clare for asking me to make them for you. I am hoping to make some more leather items in the future so it has been good practice :) I loved adding the detail of the buttons....I know any excuse to use buttons.....they're just sooooo nice!! :D
