sewingI made two more pairs of boxers (one is pictured under the cut).
I also made a pair out of pink fabric with black cats wearing silver ribbons. With the scraps of the cat fabric and the ladybug fabric, I made a quilted sleeve/carrying bag forsahiya's iPad 2. One side is ladybugs, the other side is cats, and the interior is lined with yellow leftover from a quilt for troisroyaumes.
Instructions for the sleeve, for my own reference:
Exterior: 2 pieces of fabric, 9.5" x 12 1/4" (ipad 2 dimensions are 7.31" x 9.5")
batting, 9.5" x 11 1/4"
Interior: 1 piece of fabric, 9.5" x 22 1/2"
Sew the exterior fabric pieces, right sides together, on a short side w/a 1/2" seam allowance and flat fell it. Lay the batting over the wrong side and quilt it.
Fold in half along bottom seam, right sides together, and sew the long sides together w/1/4" seam allowance, up to 1" of the top. Backstitch. Sew the top 1/2" of the sides, leaving a 1/2" gap for the drawstring.
Fold the interior piece in half, right sides together, and sew the long sides together w/1/4" seam allowance, up to 1" of the top. Backstitch. Sew the top 1/2" of the sides, leaving a 1/2" gap for the drawstring.
Turn interior piece so the wrong side is in the inside, and stuff it in the exterior piece (exterior piece will be wrong side out, the exterior piece and interior piece will be right sides together). Align them along the top and sew with a 1/4" seam, leaving a 2-3" gap. Backstitch on either side of the gap.
Pull the right sides out through the gap, so that the exterior piece is right side out, and the interior piece is lining it with the right side visible. Stitch the gap in the top seam closed.
Sew a line the width of the case right below the 1/2" gap in the side seams. Sew a line the width of the case right above the 1/2" gap in the side seams. This will leave a 1/2" channel for a drawstring. Thread a drawstring through the channel (I made bias tape out of scraps of the ladybug fabric, sewed it flat, and used that as the thread). Voila! You have a sleeve that will not make your iPad bounce if you drop it, but it will prevent scratches and dings.
