Handmade Holiday–Kindle Case

Our family of five each drew a name to find out who we should make a gift for this holiday season.  Here’s what happened.

• Pip picked Mercedi.

• Mercedi picked Mom.

• Mom picked Capri.

• Capri picked Papa.

• Papa picked Pip.

Everyone was really happy with who they got and who had them…we didn’t keep it a secret since we had to know who Pip had anyway (she’s 2).  Cedi was really excited until you could see her smile waiver just a little as she realized that all Pip could pretty much do was color in a picture…sort of.  She held that smile regardless and insisted she was excited.

I couldn’t just let Pip color a picture for Cedi so instead we did a little bit of ‘15 minutes of play’ together.  I let her at one of my scrap bins and she picked the fabrics she wanted me to sew together.  Before we knew it – we had the outside portion of a kindle case put together for Cedi!  She then picked out the two fabrics for the insides of the bag and hung out patiently while I did the manual labor.

Voila!  We had a fun new case/bag for Cedi’s kindle!  Just full of Pip’s love!  AND it was really fun for me to sew and create with Pip at my side!  To top it off – Cedi loved it!!!
