Nook Case

About a week ago Rob bought a Nook e-reader (they were on sale for very silly prices) and yesterday he asked me if I would make him a case for it. This made me very happy so I dug out the sewing machine to get  to work - I make quite a few bits for myself but I take it as a great compliment that he likes my work enough to want something made for himself! It took me about an hour to make the case (including picking out the fabric etc) and he appears quite pleased with the result so I am satisfied with my evenings work.

Anyway, here is the Nook case; the outside is made out of recycled jeans denim and the lining is some grey Kona cotton from my stash.


 The front of the case is plain denim and I used some simple straight line quilting to attach the denim to a bit of cotton wadding so that the screen has a little extra protection from keys and other pointy things.


The back makes use of on the the back pockets from the jeans so that the charging cable can be stashed when travelling; we were careful to pick a pair of jeans without metal studs for this project!


The case is fairly snug so that the Nook won't fall out too easily but it's got enough slack to allow access to the pocket and removal of the device.
