You will need:
♡ Thread (I used invisible to make it look neater)
♡ Needle
♡ Pins
♡ A button
♡ Embroidery thread
1. Put your iPad on top of your felt and estimate how much you will need to use, I used two A4 sized pieces of felt and the sizing was perfect! Lay them on top of each other and sew down the two longer sides of the felt and only one of the shorter sides. At this point you could use a sewing machine if you have one, but since I don't I put pins along the fabric to make sure my stitches stayed straight.
2. Once that's all done you want to cut 2 or 3 inches off one piece of the felt to create a flap like this, make sure your iPad fits comfortably and is not poking out the top.
3. Now, with the piece of felt you trimmed, you need to draw a mark where you want your button to go, I measured 12cm approximately, leave about an 1 inch between the edge of the fabric and the mark so there is space for the button.
4. Using a bigger needle, thread you embroidery thread and sew the button onto the fabric where you put your pen mark.
5. This step is optional, but can be really handy for you headphones! Take some of your blue fabric and cut out a pocket sized square and place it where you want it to go. Sew it carefully, make sure you only sew through the pocket and the first layer of purple fabric so you don't sew it shut, it sounds obvious but I nearly did it so I don't know if I'm stupid but just a warning!
I am really happy with how it turned out and it was a lot easier to make than I anticipated, I even made one for my phone. If you make this DIY, send me a picture, I would love to see how they turned out!
