Quilted Cozy! Custom Fit eReader Pocket

This eReader cozy can be made with fabric scraps, extra quilt blocks, or old clothing so you can be like the quilters of old using what you have; up-cycling at its best. Best of all, it is highly functional, pleasing to look at, and made from items on hand to save you money. I love to quilt but of course I have extra fabric scraps and whole or partial extra blocks sitting around waiting to be used. How about you? Put those extras to good use while making something you can really use!

I just finished one for my Ematic, I even went and added a small little flap and a button to make sure it stayed in it. I used a soft fabric of about medium weight for the lining to wipe away finger prints and such and also because I used all the denim for a purse I made xD . Oh, and about half way through this project I realized I didn't have any batting, so I improvised with some stuffing from an old pillow. Thanks for the great idea!

its either behind the workbench, or under the pile of tools...

I like the idea of a denim liner for the protection, but what about microfiber? Then it would clean the screen every time you slid the reader in and out. Perhaps both?

Sure, I think there are lots of possible choices, that's the beauty, whatever meets your needs : )
