97 Days to Go: Christie’s NDAD Creation

Jul 14, 2012 | 8 Comments

Today’s remake comes from Christie in Austin, TX.  I love this piece because it’s something that many people can use nowadays…a cover for their e-reader!!

Hi Marisa – I have thoroughly enjoyed your blog and been inspired to create several new pieces and revamp some of my old stuff.  I thought this one was worth sharing with you!  I took the arm rest cover of my favorite gold vintage chair (hand-me-down from my grandma, who, incidentally, also gave me my sewing machine)…

I’m in love with this fabric!!  I have a vintage green chair that’s the same velvety fabric however, mine is without an arm rest cover otherwise you’d see me rockin’ a velvet clutch by now!!

I took a little fabric from some old curtains and a button from an old coat…

Chic interior!

…and made the cutest carrying case for my Kindle.  It’s so adorable, I might just use it as a clutch too.  I love how cozy my Kindle is in this thing AND I love that it’s made of all upcycled material.

Thanks for your inspiration and good luck writing your book!  Maybe I’ll read it on my Kindle someday!  Christie S., Austin, TX

I love this upcycled piece CS!!  PS, my book will most definitely be available for your kindle when it comes out in October :)   More details on that this week though!

    Great idea!
    You can add a piece of an old blanket or fleece throw between the layers to add some cushion for the kindle!

    Very cute and creative!  (What about other ereaders?  I’m not sure if I’m allowed to mention them by name, but they are also cozy when you are in a corner, or reading nook…)

    I love my kindle, I don’t leave home without it.  This is a great idea.  I may have to try it.
