Although I'm not personally a Doctor Who fan (because I've never watched it), a friend suggested I make a Tardis kindle cover, and I can never say no to a challenge. Hope you like this tutorial. :)

Description

Although I'm not personally a Doctor Who fan (because I've never watched it), a friend suggested I make a Tardis kindle cover, and I can never say no to a challenge. Hope you like this tutorial. :)

Instructions

  1. Small p1130027

    I decided that I didn't want to hand paint or stitch the text on the Tardis, so instead I printed out the images in the size that I wanted, cut them out and modge podged them onto the vinyl.

  2. Make your pattern based on the size of the gadget you are covering, and cut out your basic cover shape from vinyl.

  3. Small p1130030

    Cut out 5 squares from vinyl to make the blocks on the door. Your sixth square will be the note, which you modge podged.

  4. Small p1130035

    Stick on the squares and secure them by sewing.

  5. Small p1130037

    Stitch on your "Police Box" sign, and cut out 12 tiny white leather rectangles to make the windows. Stick and then stitch them on.

  6. Small p1130042

    Sew a thin strip of blue vinyl down the centre.

  7. Small p1130045

    Pin your back and front case pieces together (right sides facing) and sew.

  8. Small p1130049

    Turn right side out.

  9. Sew the two pieces of your lining fabric together.

  10. Small p1130059

    Add the button to the front of the cover, and add the elastic to the back, to loop around the button.

  11. Small p1130065

    Turn right side out and insert into the cover, folding over the top edge of the vinyl and sewing down, covering the edge of the lining to secure it.
