Kindle covers.

Post by mrs boodles »

Has anyone got a pattern or can tell me how I can make a cover for my kindle, They seem to be so expensive and I can`t afford one at moment but want to protect the kindle. Thanks.

Do you want to knit it or sew it? I have a link somewhere.

Are you a member of Ravelry? There are quite a few different patterns for kindle covers on there. Or you could just knit a rectangle twice as big as your kindle, fold it in half, sew around three edges & put a button & loop on to close it.

I made a thread with pictures of the leather and fabric ones that I made called EBook covers -in frugality section. (sorry dont know how to link).
Bought ones are a real rip off, good luck.
