tablet stand

I made this AGES ago and keep forgetting to blog about it.  I was the lucky recipient of a tablet from my wonderful parents a couple of months ago.  I love it.  I watch Netflix on it as I'm sewing as I don't have a TV upstairs.  I'm currently addicted to 24 and burning through series 2....


Annoyingly, the tablet lay on my desk and I couldn't see the screen.  I tried propping it up on a tin, but decided I needed a real stand.  As I was sewing at the time, I abandoned my project and got to work.  I used this tutorial by Betty Crocker Ass, works perfectly.


I love this fabric.  I have no idea what it is, but I bought a little bundle of similar colours when I first started sewing, intending to make a patchwork bag. That never happened, but the little bundle still sits alone, outside of my main stash as it's "special".



Clearly at the time I made this I wasn't watching 24.  The little puffy rice-filled cushions at the front hold it so it doesn't slip forward and it leans on the triangle bit at the back.


I added this little channel.  The original tutorial has a solid pillow-type thing at the front, but I added this...


For the charging cable.  I doesn't work perfectly as I failed to take into account the fact it plugs in the bottom, but at the edge of my desk it works just fine!  Next I have to make a case to keep it in...
