However, this time it&#8217;s a special bag, nicely padded, that I&#8217;ll be able to use with my iPad when it arrives. The pattern I used is by Annie Unrein, called the <a href=\"http:\/\/byannie.danemcoweb.com\/shop\/product\/mipad_case\/\" target=\"_blank\">MiPad Case<\/a>. It features an adjustable strap, a zippered outer pocket, an inner pocket, and a central front panel done with Texture Magic. I used Annie&#8217;s Soft and Stable to pad the case, and I think it will work out great. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I already had the bamboo batik, the solid black and the bright pink I used for the piping, as well as the handle hardware, in my stash, so all I needed to purchase were the zippers and lining fabric. It&#8217;s so nice to be able to make something from stash! \ud83d\ude42 The bamboo print is black and white, though it sometimes looks sort of navy, depending on the lighting, as you can see in the photos.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, I had a couple of questions during the bag&#8217;s construction, and I was delighted by how quickly Annie responded. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t posted lately, because I&#8217;m saving the handwork on my Drunkard&#8217;s Path quilt to take with me to a quilting day on Sunday with some friends.
