For Christmas I received a digital book from Amazon called the Kindle. It's about the size of an 8x10 sheet of paper and about 1/4 inch thick. It can hold a huge library of books and is going to replace, ultimately, my paper back book collection to free up some shelf space for, you guessed it, fabric! Anyhoo, I feel that I need a carrying case for it and have been tackling this project for a few weeks now. I wanted padding for protection, a lining, plus a partition in the middle so that the charge up cord could be on one side and the Kindle on the other. THAT's where my big goof occurred. Using Cathy Corcella's flat construction method, which is a remarkably easy recipe once you get the hang of it, I used some gorgeous music fabric I bought in Atlanta (isn't it funny how quilters can remember when and where they bought "that" fabric yet forget where they left their glasses?) and assembled everything as per instructions. Of course, the instructions don't deal with a partition. When I turned everything right side out and up, the partition opening was in the bottom of the purse!! I've recycled that interesting project into a smaller purse and am starting on the Kindle sized bag again. Cross your fingers! I'll post pics of both the recycled purse(s?) and the final successful bag when I get there. Notice I'm not saying "if"?
