Tried my hand at an iPad cover....

Not too bad for a first attempt. I modified a pattern -typical me- wanted to cut less and sew fewer seams - I made the lining one piece the same size as the outer fabric -the patterns called for three pieces.  Of course when it came to sewing in some elastic pieces I understood why they had those pieces and seams - yes, I did look over all instructions before starting, but I still thought I knew better and could figure it out.  Not a real big deal, just a little less neat on the inside.  I love it, even so.
