You may remember the pretty little cover I made for Valine's Nook Color? I had so much fun making it and was really pleased with how it turned out. One problem----it didn't fit!! It was a bit too short and slightly too narrow. I was so disappointed.
But, with a longer weekend, I decided to tackle a new one. This time, I chose completely different fabrics. I looked up the actual dimensions of a Nook Color online and found that the pattern I used (by ) was actually needed to have seam allowances added to it. I'm not sure if that was the intention or not, but this time I did add about 1" to the height and 1/2" to the width. I used embroidery thread to make running stitch embellishments around the corners, seams, etc.
Unfortunately, this is what happens when Emmi gets hold of the box of embroidery floss. :-(
I also used a bit of the floral fabric on the front as a raw-edge applique and, inspired by these awesome quilts that Jana shared with me, I did some free-hand words.
Once again, I made a rosette and added a vintage button from my grandmother's collection.
Hoping it fits, Valine!!
