Ipad sleeve Tutorial

I took a break in my cleaning, sorting out stuff to create a little something for me but I thought of sharing it with you!
It has been a long time since I sewed, and since I received an ipad for Christmas I thought of doing a cozy sleeve for when I will travel with it!
I had this pretty fabric that I have saved preciously and I finally found a perfect project for it!
Sewing was the very first creative thing I've learned; I took one year in a school in Paris as I wanted to became a stylist but I changed my mind and took another career!...
I used to make my own clothes...

So anyway... here is my pretty Ipad sleeve!

and a little tutorial for you; actually 2 ways of doing it!

Option 1:

- Cut your fabric and fleece in the size of your ipad + 1.5cm for the sewing

- Sew the printed fabric and the sleeve face to face

- Flip it over

- Sew the inside border

- Fold the fabric face to face and sew the 2 sides

leaving the flap.

- Then turn it over.

Here is a little video that can help:

Option 2:

- Cut your fabric and fleece in the size of your ipad + 1.5cm for the sewing

- Sew the flap (fabric face to face) and flip it over

- Sew the inside border

- place the sleeve printed fabric on printed fabric and sew the borders

- Flip it over and iron if needed!

Here are the measurements I used for

The ipad without cover: 50.5cm  (54cm for the printed fabric) X 26cm

The Ipad with cover : 56.5cm (60cm for the printed fabric) X 30cm

I hope it will help you to make your very own Ipad sleeve ;)

I appreciate your comments...

Recycle and decorate!

I was looking for a container to hold my handful of copic markers and I found this empty cacao powder  container that I had put aside for an upcoming project!
It's an easy and quick tutorial; Perfect to recycle and re-use container around you!

All you need is:

- A container

- Some paper

- Modpodge

- Paintbrush

- Brayer (optional)

- Scissor

- Tape measure 

 

Once you found you perfect container, measure it to prepare your paper.

I colored some mandalas and thought it would be great on my container.

I found a light paper to coordinate...

Modpodge your container...

and glue your pre-cut paper all around

Apply your brayer to smooth the surface or do it with your fingers.

Now I glue my mandalas on top and ...that's it!

You can protect your container with a transparent adhesive if you wish.

Now I have a beautiful Mandala container to hold my copics and I can choose the color I want to see and change it when I want!!...

Recycle, Re-use and decorate your container for a colorful and pretty decor!...

Savory crepes

Here is how I make my quick savory crepes ...
(I don't want to make some advertisement for Tupperware but it's an old Tupperware recipe that my mother teaches me!).
I hope you have one of those shaker!
...
Here is what you need:
- a tupperware shaker
- 250ml to 300ml of milk (1 cup)
- buckeat flour (about 1/3 of a real cup)
- wholewheat flour (about 1/4 of a real cup)
- 1 egg
- a pinch of salt
- ingredients you want to make your crepes with, here I used lean turkey slice and Swiss cheese.

I measure my flour in the top of the shaker!

2/3 buckwheat - 1/3 wholewheat.

transfer on top of the milk.

 add the egg and pierce the yolk.

put the secret accessory!

 close the shaker firmly ...

and shake it up and down!

For cooking you need a crepes pan that you will oil lightly.

heat the pan on high...

 when it's hot pour a thin layer of the preparation; lower the heat on medium (to 8)

let cook..

 and flip it!

then garnish it

and fold it...

 and serve!

 Lightly re-oil your pan between each crepes.

 It makes 5 to 6 crepes...

Bon appetit!

For sugary crepes, use white/whole wheat flour.
