What do you do when your best friend is having a tough week and has been, not so subtly, hinting that she wants you to make her an iPad case for a super long time? You look up the specs, cut out an i{cardboard}Pad, and…
Start making a completely different project!
It undoubtedly served me right that the clutch pictured above was a complete fail. The size reminded me of a pencil case I owned in middle school. I considered using it as a eye make-up bag and then realized how huge of a waste of a clutch frame that would be.
And, in all honesty, the next project was intended to be an iPad clutch, but it turns out the frame was just a tad too narrow for the i{cardboard}Pad. Oh and I completely misgauged the length. So that was another fail (I was frustrated at this point) until I folded the top half of the clutch over and it transformed into something wearable.
I nixed the iPad clutch idea and went back to the drawing board, literally. I sketched and went through the motions and finally came up with a iPad sleeve that was a much better fit, both physically and functionally, than my previous plan.
And then I was on a roll!
When it was all said and done, I had a cute little pile of crafts to show for. Here’s a link to my Etsy store if you’re interested in purchasing any of these goodies!
