iPad Holder

So, my car does not have those wonderful DVD players that come out of the ceiling. My son has just gotten into watching tv and really enjoys Disney Jr. (of course). I thought that it would be a great idea to make an iPad holder for the car. I used leftover chevron material from a previous project to make it. I would not say that it is reproduction quality, but it works!

  1. Did you follow a tutorial for this or just wing it?

  2. It's all me just winging it. I traced around my iPad and then measure a 2 inch outline around the area that I traced. I did this twice (for the front and the back piece). The iPad has about a one inch black area between the actually screen and the perimeter, so I also measured and traced an inch outline inside of my original trace line on one of the pieces and cut it out. This way, I could sew a one inch seam for the actual screen area ( hope that makes sense). I also used fabric reinforcement that I ironed on to the pieces to make the fabric less flimsy. I am in the process of making a second iPad case for a friend who really liked mine so I will take pictures and upload when I'm finished to give you a better idea!
