Shabby Vintage iPad cover - English

This post is especially for our visitors from the  Graphics Fairy:

welcome to our blog :-)

We love to meet you, please leave a comment and say hi ;-)

I recently got an iPad from my dear husband. That should have a cover in 24Homes style. So I got to work

On the front I used rough linen fabric in a sandy color. I combined it with a  plain linen in a similar shade and lined it with a natural cotton. I also used this light cotton fabric in a strip on the side.

I wanted a Shabby feel for the iPad cover, so I chose to leave a frayed finish

I applied three different printing techniques  to add images. First of all I simply stamped with Staz-On

At the top on the right I used T-shirt transfer to add a print I found at the Graphics Fairy.

And finally, on the back I used fabric that I directly printed on (before sewing), on my inkjetprinter. I used the Cacao Payraud image also from Graphics Fairy

I finished the cover with lace, a small piece of burlap and several embellishments: a cameo, a flowershaped button and a Tim Holtz Ideaology key (wich I accidently placed backwards, haha :-D

Using some fiberfill and a piece of cardboard behind the lining, the cover gives my iPad even more protection.

 We LOVE comments,
