12 Gifts of Christmas Blog Hop – iPad Case Tutorial + Giveaway
Welcome to day 4 of the 12 Gifts of Christmas Blog Hop!
I hope everyone is having fun and getting some great ideas for holiday gifts this year. Today I am going to teach you how to make an iPad case. This tutorial can also be used to make a Kindle case (or Nook or any other tablet device), you will just need to measure your device and add about 1-1/4″ to the width and length to figure out your cut fabric sizes.
For example, the iPad I used for this tutorial was 7.5″ x 9.5″. And my cut fabric pieces below are 8.75″ x 10.75″. So yep Kindle users, you will need to break out the calculator!
Another note, I have an iPad 1 which is a bit thicker than an iPad 2. So iPad 2 users, you may want to cut your pieces 1/4″ (total) smaller to account for your sleeker design. 
Let’s get started.
iPad Case Tutorial
Supplies
9″ zipper
2″ of Velcro
Fabric (see amounts below)
Batting or Interfacing, depending on how poofy you want it (see amounts below)
Cut the following pieces:
| Outer Case Fabric | Back – 8.75″ x 10.75″ |
| Front Top Portion – 3.75″ x 8.75″ | |
| Front Bottom Portion – 7.25″ x 8.75″ |
| Pocket Lining Fabric | Cut 1 – 3.75″ x 8.75″ |
| Cut 1 – 7.25″ x 8.75″ | |
| Cut 1 – 8.75″ x 10.75″ |
| Inner Lining Fabric | Cut 2 – 8.75″ x 10.75″ |
| Strap Fabric | Cut 2 – 3.5″ x 3.5″ |
| Zipper Ends Fabric | Cut 2 – 1.5″ x 2.5″ |
| Batting or Interfacing | Cut 2 – 8.75″ x 10.75″ |
| Cut 1 – 3.5″ x 3.5″ |
(Adding a note: Lots of people are curious as to what the fabric is that I used for the cover. It is Ruby Star Rising Transistor Radios and I bought it from Alice at Fresh Modern Fabric.)
Assembly
1. Let’s start with the strap. Place your 2 pieces of 3.5″ x 3.5″ fabrics right sides together. Place the batting or interfacing on the bottom of the fabric sandwich (see photo). Stitch together around 3 of the 4 sides.
Flip right side out and press.
2. Trim your zipper to 8.75″.
3. Let’s make your zipper ends. I learned this technique from the talented Anna of Noodlehead. Not to sound too much like Oprah, but learning to do these zipper ends was a life changing moment for me…well, as far as nice looking zippers are concerned!
Take your zipper ends and press the sides towards the center as shown in the photo below.
4. Place the zipper ends on the each end of the zipper like this:
Top stitch the zipper ends to both ends of the zipper. This give it a nice finished look.
5. Now let’s assemble the front outer portion of the case. Take your 3.75″ x 8.75″ piece of outer fabric and your 3.75″ x 8.75″ piece of pocket lining fabric. Place them right sides together and place the zipper in the middle of the fabric sandwich. See photo.
Pin in place.
6. Using your zipper foot, stitch down the fabric-zipper-fabric sandwich.
7. Open your sandwich and press.
8. Take your 7.25″ x 8.75″ piece of out fabric and your 7.25″ x 8.75″ piece of pocket lining fabric. We are going to repeat the previous step, but on the other side of the zipper. Place the fabric right sides together and place the zipper in the middle of the fabric sandwich. See photo.
Pin in place.
9. Using your zipper foot, stitch down the fabric-zipper-fabric sandwich.
10. Open your sandwich and press.
Front:
Back:
Top stitch down both sides of the zipper for a nice, finished look.
11. If you are like me, things may be *slightly* crooked now. Take this opportunity to trim your zipper front piece now to 8.75″ x 10.75″. Set this piece aside.
12. Let’s make the outer back of the case. Take the strap you assembled in Step 1. Take the 8.75″ x 10.75″ outer back piece of fabric. Center the strap on the top as shown in the photo below (Unfinished ends together) with a slight bit of overhang.
13. Baste into place with less than a 1/4″ seam allowance.
14. Let’s finish the assembly of the outer portion of the case. Make a fabric sandwich as follows:
8.75″ x 10.75″ outer back right side up – 8.75″ x 10.75″ assembled zipper front right side down – 8.75″ x 10.75″ pocket lining piece right side down
15. Stitch around sides and bottom, leaving the top open. Flip right side out and press.
16. Now let’s assemble the inner lining. Place the 8.75″ x 10.75″ inner lining pieces right sides together. Place an 8.75″ x 10.75″ piece of batting or interfacing on the top and bottom of the fabric sandwich.
Stitch around sides and bottom, leaving the top open. Do not flip right side out.
17. Time to put it together! With the exterior of the case right side out and the lining of the case wrong side out, place the exterior inside the lining and pin the tops together. Make sure the strap is tucked in.
18. Stitch around the top of the case, leaving about 4″ open to flip the case right side out.
19. Flip the case right side out and tuck the inner lining into the outer shell. Press. Top stitch around the top to close the opening and give the case a nice, finished look.
20. Add velcro to the back of the strap and the case. Stitch in place.

I love how you add the bits to the ends of the zips…. makes it very neat… thanks…
Hugz
If I make one of these and leave under the Christmas tree – do you think the elves will fill it with an ipad??
This pattern looks amazing. Love the zipper. Too bad I don’t have an iPad!!
Great tute, that zipper trick’s a winner! might actually go make one now.
This is great! My sister was given an iPad for her birthday this past summer, so this would make a great Christmas gift for her. Are your measurements for the current iPad version, or do I need to get her husband to take stealthy measurements for me?
The colours you have used in this are gorgeous.
I thought the same thing as Fiona, in fact your tutorial has been a breakthrough for me in putting zips into bags per se …I want to send you a big hug!!! thanks so much and hope your day blossoms into a beautiful flower too.
I really like that zipper trick too. It works incredibly well on metal zippers too (which can be tricky to sew nicely otherwise). Thanks for the tutorial!
Great tutorial, thanks. Loving this blog hop.
I needed this tutorial, as very soon t o be the owner of her very own ipad…thank you
If I had a iPad, I’d definitely make this! Thanks for the great tutorial! Your explanation is so easy to understand. Again, thanks!
Those zipper ends sure look great, I’m definitely going to give that a try. Thanks for the tutorial, this one is PERFECT for gifting!
Will this work for the iPad2 as well? I’m assuming I’d use less since they are thinner?
Yes! I would make it a bit smaller since it’s thinner, probably subtract somewhere between 1/4″ to 1/2″ from the overall size of the cut pieces.
A fantastic idea for the grandkids this year, Will personalize for each on the 9 grandkids.
I am responding on my iPad that needs a case. Thanks.
I think I need to make one for me first.
Love the fabric you used. Who is it by?
Hi Sue! The fabric is Ruby Star Rising, Transistor Radios. I bought it from Alice at Fresh Modern Fabric:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/76119760/fat-quarter-transistor-radios-in-blue?ga_search_query=radio&ga_search_type=user_shop_ttt_id_6211819
Hi! That case is beautiful! Thank you for a great tutorial! Zipper is always tricky so every advice is welcome!
I love the fabric here, especially the polk dots! I don’t even have an iPad, but this tutorial makes me want to make a case anyway. I’m sure I know someone who could use it.
Thanks for the tutorial and giveaway!
Ooooh I’ve been wondering how people do that cool tab thing over the zipper for a while, and there it is, in such a cute tutorial too! I might need to go get an ipad so I can make this case. That’s how it works, right?
Great tutorial! I especially like the part with the zipper! That’s always something I struggle with. But you’ve showed and explained it very well! Thanks very much!
Thank you for the tutorial and for the giveaway!
Great tutorial, I’m sure I’ll make one! And thanks for the giveaway, too!
Thanks for the tutorial! I love your choice of vintage radio fabric for this gift too!
Thank you for this great tutorial. It is wonderful.
And thank you for the giveaway, too.
What a great tutorial. The four members of this family all have an iPad, so I think i’d bettter get started.
Wonderful, all the pictures you took, to make this tutorial so clear!
Happy week (o:
Thanks for the great tutorial! This is fun!
Thanks so much for sharing this tute. I really want to make my MIL an ipad cover for a Christmas gift. I will have to overcome my fear of zippers, tho…
I think I will make one of these- then I’ll HAVE to buy an iPad!!! Fab!
Great tutorial! A kindle is on my Christmas list so I’m going to make a pouch in anticipation! Fingers crossed!
I just got an ipad for my husband for his birthday, so I will need to make one of these very soon.
Yay! I’ve been meaning to make an iPad cover for ages and haven’t sorted it out yet. Thanks for doing the hard work! I like your fabric choice – I”ve had the viewmaster print set aside for this very project
. I love the irony of using this fabric for such a modern device.
I haven’t an iPad.
Oh, I love it. I just received a Kindle for my birthday so guess what I’m sewing next? Thank you!
I love this tutorial, thanks so much. Great detailed instructions & the photos are really helpful as well. I’ve been wanting to make an iPad cover for a while & I even have some of the same spotty fabric that you used as the lining!
very nice tutorial. you make zippers look easy. thanks.

Such a great tutorial, Faith! I love it! I want to get an iPad just so I can make this for myself!
I’ve see quite a few tutorials for iPad covers, but like the addition of the zippered pocket in this one! Thanks!
Great tutorial. I know someone who is getting once of these cases for Christmas. Thanks.
Great tutorial. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks for the pattern – now all I need is to convince the MaTH (man about the house!) that I need an iPad to go with my new cover
Wow, thank you for the excellent tutorial! I’ve been meaning to make myself an iPad case for a while now and this looks like the perfect pattern!
This is a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing! This would make a great gift!
What a great tutorial! I’ll add this to my list of things to make before Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great tutorial. Sadly, I don’t know anyone with an IPad! I guess I’m surrounded by too many housewives! hee hee! Maybe Santa will bring one for me.
Thank you for the tut, your pictures really help! This is definitely on my “to make” list. Thanks for sharing!
I agree that your tutorial is super. The case looks so neat. Thanks.
I love this tutorial, even though I don’t have an ipad – I’m sure I’ll be able to find someone who needs a case for Christmas! Thank you
Great tutorial, thanks!
Love this tut and great to use with nook or kindle too!
Cute case & like your fabric choices!
This is such a detailed tutorial. I actually think I could make this. And it is so cute! Thanks!
I wish I had an IPad so I could make this cute case !
Cute bag. Thanks for the tute!
What a great tutorial. Thanks so much.
Cute case! We just got an iPad…i’m seeing a case in our future!
Love it! I love the print and the zipper detail is a great idea!
Great tutorial and thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the tutorial. I really like this case and the fabrics that you use to make it.
This is going to come in handy since my daughter wants an iPad for Christmas. I thinking I will wrap it while in its new case! What fun. Thanks for sharing.
Great tute! Thanks!
This is a great gift idea! Thanks for the tutorial.
I’ve seen some of these but I like your addition of those type of zippers where it has the finished edges.
Great tutorial! I think I could easily adapt this for my laptop and my husband has an ipad. Love the zippered pouch. The fabric on each end give it a nicely finished look.
What a great i-pad case. Could this be the one to overcome my fear of zippers.
Thanks this is great!
Great tutorial and I love the zippered pocket. I will definitely be making a few of these as Christmas gifts.
Great tutorial, especially the zipper instructions. Hope I can use it sometime soon!
Hey Faith,
thank you for this fantastic tutorial!
Greetings from Silke from Germany
Such a great tutorial Faith. You explained that zipper so well- I think I could manage those covered ends now!
Thanks so much for being part of the blog hop!
That is just too cute, thank you so much. I can’t wait to try it.
Maybe if I make the cover, the Ipad might come! Great tute, thank you. Hugs Naomi
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial and the change to win
Loving that fabric! I’m in the no ipad bunch but I’d make this if I had one!
How cool is that! My sister is definitely getting a kindle pouch for christmas!
OK, so I made it already…with the zipper vertical rather than horizontal, since kindle is smaller. Believe it or not, I managed to sew in the zipper upside down, not once but four times in a row! Finally I just left it that way. Just in case anyone would like to know, the front and back measures I used were 9″x6½”, good for a kindle without a cover but if yours has a cover you’ll need to add 1″ to the width. Also I made the strap ½” narrower and almost 1″ shorter.
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial! These would make great Christmas gifts. Thank you, also for the opportunity to enter your great giveaway.
Well I don’t own one of these myself, but I know some that do. What a great idea for Christmas. Thank you!
so cute!! love the zippered part!
Great tutorial! This will be perfect for my mother-in-law! Thanks!
Great tutorial! I’ll be pinning this for sure! Thanks for the giveaway!
Very cute! Thanks for the great tutorial.
Love the fabric choices, the way the zipper is finished and the extra pocket. Definitely on my list of to-dos. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial! Thanks. I was looking for an ipad case tutorial to make for my Dad. Thanks!
That case is CUTE! Definitely need to try as a gift for my daughter! Thanks!
Thanks a lot. I bought an Ipad recently and that tutorial couldn’t have arrived in a better occasion.
Great tutorial! Now all I need is an Ipad… Thanks for sharing the zipper ends tip.
What a great tutorial. Really clear instructions. Just a thought….if you sew the velcro to the bottom of the tab before assembly you won’t see the stitches on the front. Maybe top stich around the edge of the tab to hold top and bottom together.
Hmmmm, I DO have a kindle. But do I have the m-skills to tackle the changes. Yea, probably. Thanks for the lovely pics. It definitely helps!
Thanks so much. I’m making a cover for my kindle!
Cute! Wish I owned an Ipad, so I could make this!
Love the iPod case. Thanks!
This is fantastic, I love it!
Love the outer zippered pocket!
What a great tutorial. I currently don’t have one, but maybe one day…
What a wonderful Ipad case! What neat fabric and a great tutorial!

Love this tut!! I need to make several of these this year and you have now made it much easier. Thanks!!
Love the zipper pocket on the front! I need to make a case for my new laptop and was trying to think of a way to put cord storage on it. This will do nicely (maybe with an added gusset for the wider transformer).
you know, Faith, this case is so darn cute because your ability to choose coordinating fabric colors is one of your strongpoints! Great tutorial!!
I love that your case has a pocket. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial….now, if I could just find someone to buy me an ipad! Or Kindle!

I love that polka dot lining! I think I would just peak inside that zipper for fun! Awesome tutorial.
I love this idea. My kids constantly throw their ipod in their purse which has led to numerous scratches on the screen. Maybe a cute pouch is just what they need (in their stocking on Christmas morning).
I love how you used fabric with old school technology on modern technology.
Now I just need an i-Pad
Thanks for the tutorial!

Thanks for the sweeet tutorial! I’m putting this on my pre-Christmas list of things to make even though it looks a little challenging for me (a new sewer/quilter). I’ve never tried a zipper (EEK!) but this might be just the tutorial to push me in that direction.

I can not wait to try this:) Thank you so much for the tutorial:) And so glad I found your blog:)
I may have to make this “gift” for myself. Thank you for sharing.
love this tutorial! this will make a great gift. thanks!
Thanks for a great tutorial – I needed a pattern for an ipod case for my nephews and one of my sisters! thanks!
I love the ipod cover, Thank so much and thanks for the chance to win
This will go on my to-make list for Christmas. Almost everyone in the family has an I pad and it will be fun to choose just the right fabric for each recipient.
I sure did like your tutorial – I do not own an IPad but grand children do so I could make them for the girls. Thank for a wonderful giveaway. Judy C
Thanks for a great tutorial, and a lovely gift idea for Xmas. Sandy.
Great tutorial; great gift idea.
C.U.T.E. Seriously. Looks to be a great tute and I love the fabric choices. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial!!!
This is will make a perfect gift! Thank you for the clear instructions. I think Santa will get a hint to give me an ipad so I can make one for myself… maybe I’ll make two and just see what happens!
So cute! And just in time for Christmas!
Now I REALLY wish I had an I-Pad so I could make it some cute clothes.
) Thank you for sharing your talents and for the great giveaway.
GREAT tutorial. I liked the comment on if I make one and leave it under my Christmas tree, that maybe I’ll get an Ipad? Just maybe! LOL! Thanks for the contest!
Thanks for the tutorial and contest. Love the Ipad holder.
The iPad tutorial is super nice! Thanks for sharing with all of us!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this tutorial. I’ve been looking for a good pattern to make an ipod and kindle cover!
Great tutorial and with all the kids(adult ones too) having i-pods, gameboys etc a cover is definitely needed to protect the item.
Cheers,
Robyn
Love this idea, thank you!
Just another reason for me to have iPad envy. I love this tutorial.
I like this ipad case. I have made several……..changed my thinking a bit after getting an ipad! The extra pockets are nice for charger etc.
Tutorial nicely done.
Thanks,
Very cool tutorial!! Great job!!
I love the zipper on the front, good idea! Cute fabric too
Thanks!
Finally, a zipper tutorial! Yay!
I love the fabric you chose! I would make one of these for my husband, but no way would he use it!!
Great tutorial. Definitely making one.
So glad I have the ipad to put into it. Can’t wait to make this adorable carrier.
Great tutorial!
The zipper is genius! After adding one to my Weekender I am all about adding them to everything they really come in handy.
Oh so cute. I need to make several of these.
So stinkin’ cute, Faith! I love your tutorial, and your photos – you make it all click and be doable – specially since if have serious zipper issues. You wow me with everything you do!
This is such a great idea! I am going to have to make a few of these for Christmas… and birthdays!!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!
Hi, I love the tute, I will be making one for my kindle. I love the idea of putting the ends on the zipper. NEAT!
I love this especially the zipper ends idea. I’ve never seen that.
Thanks or the great tutorial for the iPad case! I think your post finally inspired me to make a cover for myself and then one for a friend. Left a message as requested on Ellison Lane Quilts for the giveaway. Enjoying all the tuts! The 12 days of tuts is a great idea!
Hello Faith – this is a fantabulous tutorial. Two of my quilting buddies have iPads and this would be great for them. Thanks for sharing and I love the zipper end tip.
Hmmm…that is very cute. I don’t know that I could make one and then give it away. Maybe I’ll have to make two
I love my iPad – it definitely deserves a pretty home. Thanks for sharing your tutorial.
Super Cute Tutorial! I’m going to make one for my Kindle!
Thanks so much for the clear directions on adding the ends to the zipper – I’ve been wanting to learn that! It was nice to meet you for a nanosecond at Summit!
Great tutorial…appreciate all the tips!!! Thanks!!!
so cool!!!!
Cute bag and great tutorial. Thanks!
Very cute, will have to make one!
Thanks for the tutorial. I have a Nook, but my two daughters have IPads and this would make a great Christmas gift for them. Thanks also for the giveaway.
I wonder if I make one, I will get an ipad, lol.
Wonderful tutorial and nice illustrations.
Debbie
Oh, very nice. It seems everyone has an I-pad this year. I think I NEED one! Meanwhile, I’ll be busy making them all cases for theirs.
Thanks for the great tutorial. Merry Christmas!
wow that looks really fun. I have never done zippers before and it looks a little scary, but the tutoiral makes it look easy. I better not say that because it will be hard now I just jenx ed my self.
Thanks for the tutorial. Now I just need to get a Kindle! What a great excuse. Thanks and have a great day!
Great tutorial! Perhaps if I make one of these for myself, my husband will get the hint and buy me a Kindle =)
What a great gift idea. So many people have these now. I think you could adjust the measurements very easy to hold a kindle or nook. So cute. Thanks for sharing.
Great Tutorial! I’m really enjoying these 12 days of Christmas!!
This is so clever! Thank you so much for the tutorial. I need to go zipper shopping so I can make one!
love your fabric choice for the main part of the cover- nice juxtaposition of old versus new technology!
Your choice of colors is very striking!
Thanks for the giveaway. With Christmas coming, I could surely use a FQS gift certificate.
I really love your project. if anyone i know gets an ipad i will make them a case for it!
Cute and functional. I love it.
Your tutorial looks so easy to follow and with a zip as well and your fabric choices – oh so pretty! I’m ooking forward to seeing what else is happening over the next week.

wow – great tutorial thanks – just what I’ll need when I get an ipad !! and I love how you put that little strip of blue on the zip first – really great idea
Now I need to buy an Ipad…… Linda
What a cute bag. I love that you add ed the zippered pocket. I wonder if I make one, show my husband and when he mentions I don’t have an I-Pad…maybe I’ll find one under the Christmas tree. Thannks again for the great tutorial.
Thank you, FQS and Fabricworm for the giveaways and a chance to win.

This is so cute! Great Christmas gift idea (for me!).
Thanks so much for the tutorial ~ I’ve sewn on so many zippers, I don’t even know how many ~ BUT ~ never could figure out how to do those little tabs (I know I know, but my little brain just couldn’t do it). Now I know and I’ll be using them from now on!
Love the case! A friend just received an I Pad for a birthday gift, and I’ve been thinking about making a cover for her. Perfect! Thanks a lot!
wish I had an ipad or even a kindle to jazz up
That is such a great tutorial! Everything is explained to the detail!!! Thanks for sharing.
Cute iPad case. I made one out of felted wool, but it would be really nice to make one with the zip pocket like you did.

Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve looking for one to make a cover for my Kindle. Christmas present for me.
This is so nice….I made an iPad case, but the tutorial I used didn’t make an allowance for a cord compartment…love the zippered pouch in this one!
I’m hoping Santa brings me an Ipad so I’ll have to keep this tutorial in mind!

thanks for the great iPad tuturial … great holiday gift!
Great tutorial, but I wish I had seen this sooner. I already made myself an iPad cover. Then again it wouldn’t hurt to have two;-) I LOVE the addition of the zipper on the outside. I have a thing for zippers like I have a thing for pom pom fringe…
Love pictorial tutorials. Thank you. Your fabric choice really makes it unique.
Great tute! This will make a v.stylish & modern gift idea. Jxo
Great tute…and now I *need* an ipad even more, ha!!!
Love love love your work – and thanks for the opportunity to enter such a great giveaway!

I do already own a pattern for Kindles/Nooks/iPads, but it’s always nice to have a variety to choose from. I know the boyfriend is eyeballing a Kindle Fire, so I may have to sew one up pretty soon this holiday season!
I love the way you got the zipper onto the front of the case. I might have to make one of these for my daughter who keeps dropping her iTouch. It’s needs some cushioning.
Wonderful tute. Thank you so much.
YIPEE Another gift scratched off the list!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I love the fabric you used on yours. The zippered pocket is great.
I love this! I really need to get a zipper foot for my machine. Those radios are super cute

With this tutorial in those amazing colours I am convinced it is the must have for next year, writing my letter to Santa now!!!
Thanks for sharing a great tutorial
You made that look so easy. I ‘d like to give it a try. I have not yet put a zipper in anything but the zipper ends really do give it a finished and polished look. I’m learning so much (I’m a beginner) and I have lots of projects on my to-do list now. Thanks for the giveaway.

What a great tutorial! Thanks!
great tutorial. am getting the new kindle pad when it comes out in november, and i’ll have this case ready to go.

This is a great tutorial! I’m hoping to get either an ipad or a kindle soon, so I pinned this to make a cover once I get one
thank you!
Hmm… I dunno, that has a zipper in it and zippers are scary. That actually looks like a really nice way to handle a zipper. I might just be able to do it. This is a really nice tutorial. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to try it out. Thanks for the tutorial and the chance to win.

Nice tutorial! Like the zipper pocket!
Let’s me think. How many of these will I have to make? 9 gkids, 4 kids and a husband and their husbands and wives…..
I love that fabric! I WISH I had an iPad. *swoon* I often steal my boyfriend’s but he would kill me if I removed the boring black cover he has on it. Men.
This is great! My parents are about to get Kindles, this would be a great christmas present
Loved learning about the end tabs on the zipper. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Thanks for the lovely tutorial!
Great tutorial. Seems to be pretty well explained. Might see if I can adapt it for a non iPad use as I don’t have one.
Great tutorial! Thank you, I have several to make for gifts now!
And thank you for the give away!
Mary Ann
