How to Sew an iPad Case with Zipper Pouch – Step by Step Guide

By combining creative design, precise stitching, and the right tools, you can craft a stylish and functional accessory for your iPad, ensuring both protection and fashion in one elegant package.

This innovative device opens up endless possibilities for adding unique designs to our fabric pieces.

Materials You’ll Need

Step 1: Creating the Patchwork Design

Prepare Fabric and Batting

 Cut out 12 denim squares and 12 batting squares using a rotary cutter and cutting mat.

Arrange the Patchwork

Arrange the denim squares in your desired pattern. Sew them together using a 1/4-inch seam allowance, back-tacking at the start and finish of each seam. Press the seams flat.

Engraving Designs

Utilize the xTool M1 fabric engraving machine to engrave unique designs onto your patchwork. Angela recommends running a test grid to determine the best settings for engraving.

Step 2: Assembling the Case

Attach the Zipper

Place the patchwork right side up. Align the zipper tape with the top edge of the patchwork, ensuring the right sides are together. Stitch the zipper in place using a regular presser foot, stitching close to the edge.

Add Lining

Cut out two pieces of lining fabric using the patchwork as a template. Sew them together, leaving a 3-inch opening for turning. Attach the lining to the zipper, ensuring the opening aligns with the zipper opening.

Create Zipper Tab

Cut a denim piece for the zipper tab. Fold and stitch it onto the zipper tape for a neat finish.

Finish the Pouch

Match the patchwork seams and lining seams. Pin and stitch around the pouch, leaving the bottom corners open. Trim excess fabric, turn the pouch right side out, and press it flat.

Add Zipper Slider

Slide the zipper slider onto the zipper tape, ensuring it opens and closes smoothly. Trim any excess tape for a clean finish.

Final Touch

Edge stitch the top of the pouch for added durability and a polished look.

Conclusion

And there you have it – a stunning iPad case with a zipper pouch, beautifully engraved with unique designs. Now, your iPad can travel in style and safety, nestled within your handmade masterpiece.
