Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

A simple starter project, ideal for sewing and embroidery beginners with some experience. Three cut pieces to sew together along with an embroidery design that brings this Father’s Day project all together.

Step 1:

Gather all materials and review instructions before beginning. Please have on a hand a sheet of gift tissue paper. Note "tip" below.

Tip: The faux leather tends to stick to your pressure foot as well as your bobbin plate, so when stitching on faux leather lay a piece of gift wrap tissue paper on top of area that is being stitched and float a piece underneath . The needle will perforate tissue for easy removal.

Step 2:

Print out template of embroidery design. Using your 6” x 8 ½” cut piece which is the flap. Center your design template and mark top, bottom and side axis points.

Step 3:

Cut a piece of stabilizer a bit larger than your hoop. Hoop the sticky stabilizer. Score the top paper with a straight pin. Remove the top paper to reveal the sticky side. Mark your center axis points onto stabilizer.

Step 4:

Center your cut flap piece ( 6" x 8 1/2") on top of stabilizer matching up axis points. Fingertip press to secure.

Step 5:

Load the embroidery design into your machine. Attach hoop. Begin the embroidering process per your machine’s instructions.

Step 6:

Embroidering complete. Remove hoop. Cut and trim all jump stitches and loose thread ends front and back. Remove stabilizer.

Step 7:

Placement of pocket

Center and place cut pocket piece ( 6" x 5") 1” down from top edge of body. Attach by sewing a straight stitch from top to bottom of pocket on each side using a ¼” seam allowance. Stitch bottom of pocket edge using ¼” seam allowance.

Step 8:

Place body with sewn pocket face down and bring up bottom 7”. (See pic.) Sew both sides using ½”seam allowance. Place flap atop. Line up top edges. Sew flap and body top edges together using ¼” seam allowance.

Step 9:

Center and attach buttons. One on the flap and on the pocket. ( sew by hand) If using Bachelor Buttons follow manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 10:

Make a slip knot at one end of the leather cording. Slip it over the flap button and pull taut to secure. Use this cording to wrap around the buttons to keep tablet cover closed.

Step 11:

Woohoo! Congrats! Your tablet cover is finished! Slide in the tablet and use the pocket for tablet accessories.
