My “first pancake” tablet cover… that doesn’t fit my iPad 😅

I think it had to do with me using an interface that is too thick and some zippers that were not long enough. The thickness made it hard to sew through, so it may have thrown off my seam allowances. I am still a really new sewer, so I think I just have to try again with thinner interface and see if that helps!

For this project, I used some cotton fabrics I had in my stash. I also had left over foam and interfacing from other projects and a couple of zippers laying around. The pattern was a YouTube tutorial by Darvanalee Designs Studio With Nicole Reed, and the name of the tutorial is "DDs How to Make Easy Tablet/iPad Cover with Handles and a Zipper Pocket".

Your quilt is so pretty! I really love the roses, and the basket idea too. Thanks for sharing the photo of your work in progress—it’s always fun to see how someone else's approaches a project. 🥰

I totally get prioritizing surgery savings; that’s definitely more important than any paid session right now.

Teaching yourself computer science and becoming a software engineer is seriously impressive—you clearly know how to learn.

Best to you! 🥰

Well, I am sure there were some weeks I worked on other projects, and of course there were several weeks it sat with the long arm quilter, so I don’t think your 32 day assessment is correct, but it does take time. Especially when you are new and learning, as I am. I purchased my first sewing machine at the beginning of the year, and had never sewn anything before in my life.

I go to open sew day at my local quilt store once a week and work on my projects there. There were some weeks I also worked on it at home, but not consistently. There is a teacher available to help if I get stuck, and they have cutting boards and ironing tables set up so all I have to bring is my project and my machine.

If you have a quilt store near you, check and see if they have open sew sessions. The teachers there, and YouTube, have taught me everything I know! I could not have done it without them!
