Woohoo, The Ringmaster iPad Case is Complete!

Okay, so it's a bit late, okay really late! This is for my step-daughter's significant other's birthday...which was March 17th. Sometimes, other stuff just gets in the way. Hopefully he will like it!

I think this came out really cool. And trust me, with four kids between the two of them, all under 9 years old, he really is a Ringmaster!

FMQ on Thick, Foamy Batting!

I never get as much done as I want, but I did get a little more done on my Ringmaster iPad case.

A little machine embroidery for the front.

Same batting that is used in Vera Bradley bags.

I love the dimension of the FMQ!

I've used this batting before, but did very basic FMQ. I'm really loving how this iPad case is coming together. I just wish it was done!

I'm linking up with Sew Happy Geek for Manic Monday!

Try New Things (TNT) Thursday: Thick Foamy Batting (Vera Bradley Style)

I missed last week's TNT Thursday, which made me very sad. I LOVE experimenting with new things. Sew, I had to try something new this week, a new thick foamy batting to make bags, purses, iPad covers, etc.

I purchased this batting at Sew Creative in Fairport, NY. This store may look small on the outside, but it's mighty on the inside!

 

This is the purse in my giveaway (click here if you want to enter to win it. Open to entries until 12/16/11 at 8:00 p.m.) I used this batting in this purse.

The batting is just shy of a 1/4" thick and has a foamy middle covered with fabric on both sides.

I will be adding a lining, but I just quilted it with the top layer of fabric.

iPad cover (W.I.P.)

The batting adds a tremendous amount of body to the project.

The batting isn't hard to work with, a bit thick, but it gives you great results. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the batting. If I find out, I will update this post.    UPDATE: The batting is called "Soft and Stable" and Sew Creative appears to be the only local store carrying it!
