A tablet case bought at a store - what could be more boring? Original, such as you will not find anyone, tablet cases, sewn with your own hands, evoke warm feelings and joy of owning. If you are overwhelmed by the same emotions, you have come to the right place. Worried that they never made tablet cases with their own hands? Do not worry, learning this is easy!
Step 1
Since everyone’s mobile devices are not only different in model, but also in size, tablet cases will also be different. With your own hands, measure the length, width and height of your highly intelligent mechanism. Record the data received.
Find very thick cardboard, such as hard covers on books. Instead, you can use chipboard. Cut five parts from the prepared material as shown in the sample:
In our case, their size corresponds to the following parameters:
- 20x15 cm;
- 20x1 cm;
- 20x16.5 cm;
- 20x1 cm;
- 20x7.5 cm;
Note that the two largest parts are not the same. One is a little bigger than the other! This is necessary for the natural girth of the tablet cover.
Step 2
This step of step-by-step instructions on how to make a case for a tablet with your own hands is the most exciting. After all, to choose fabric for the future cover means to express your “I”, your own individuality, character and preferences.
So, the choice is made. Cut out three rectangles from the material, one of which should correspond to the height of the cardboard blank, and its length will be the width of all solid spare parts taken together. The second flap should equal the dimensions of the first three cardboard rectangles. The third cut is the size of the remaining two cardboards. Do not forget to add one or two centimeters to the seams.
Step 3
Another important component is elastic tape:
Step 4
Sew cuts of elastic tape to the corners of the smallest rectangle of fabric:
Step 5
Fold the resulting part with a medium-sized rectangle facing inward:
Sew the details. Here is what you should get:
Step 6
Pin the side of the future cover:
Place elastic tape between the elements at the level of the corners:
Step 7
Sew the future cover on three sides:
Step 8
Turn the cover onto the “face”. On one side there should be a “set” of elastic corners:
... on the other - a rubber band over the entire height of the cover:
Step 9
Insert the cardboard rectangle inside the cover. Lock the part with machine stitch:
Insert the remaining cardboard parts one at a time, securing each in its place with a seam.
Step 10
As a result, when all the details take their permanent position, two centimeters of free tissue should remain:
Fold the remainder neatly inside the case:
Sew the side with sliding stitches:
New thing is ready!

It’s not difficult to make cases for the tablet with your own hands. Maybe you should think about making unique folders for notebooks and papers? The principle of operation is the same.
