Hi friends! Happy Saturday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Richele Christensen to our blog to share the cutest reader cover idea that you can use Tim Holtz’s brand NEW Eclectic Elements gorgeous new fabric designs to make with! Read on for all the details and enjoy!

Hello friends this is Richele and I’d like to make this Reader Cover with you! The Reader Cover is Fat Quarter Friendly and great for beginners. For our project I choose Tim Holtz Palette collection in PINK. I love this fabric collection for its vintage vibe and colorful palette. Did you know a new color is released every month for the whole year?


This cover was design for the small Kindle which measures 4 1/4” x 6 1/4” but you could easily alter the size to fit your Reader or tablet.
Gather your supplies Fabric, Soft and Stable or Batting, Hook and Loop for closure, one Button, Sewing Machine, Sewing Supplies, Rotary Cutter and ruler, Needle, Thread and Pins


INSTRUCTIONS:
- Cut fabrics and soft and stable (batting) as noted below.
- Outside – Pink Palette Ticket 1 – 8 1/2” x 13”
- Inside – Pink Palette Typography 1 – 8 1/2” x 13”
- Soft and Stable or Quilt Batting 1 – 8 1/2” x 13”
- Binding 1 – 2 1/4” x width of fabric (if using a fat quarter bundle cut 2 strips and sew them together.
- Layer fabric and soft and stables follows. Inside fabric (typography) wrong side up, soft and stable and outside (tickets) fabric right side up. Pin layers together.
- Quilt layers together as desired. I used a 1” grid at a 45 degree angle. Trim to 7 1/2” x 12”
- Position Hook and Loop for the closure centered on inside pocket and the flap. Sew in place.
- Press binding piece in half lengthwise. Line up binding piece to one of the short edges of the main piece and sew with a 1/4” seam allowance. Fold over binding and topstitch 1/8” from edge.
- Fold main piece up 4 1/2” to create a pocket for the reader to slide into. Pin edges to hold in place. Baste in place 1/8” from edges.
- Attach binding by sewing to one side lining up edges.Turn up ends and fold binding over edges to opposite side and top stitch 1/8” from binding edge. (Attach binding as you would on a quilt.)
