A Sweet and Simple iPad Stand

I am plugging away on the whole WIP thing, but now and again the Quilters ADHD kicks in and I want to make something NEW. I've decided when that urge hits, I'll make something quick and simple for around the house. The only condition is I have to finish it straight away!

We recently subscribed to Foxtel (cable TV) and one of the perks is that I can watch on my iPad, no matter where I am. I love to watch music videos while I'm sewing, the only problem was that my iPad cover flipped over into a stand that was way too low. So naturally, the only solution was to make a new one.


I used some of my stashed American Jane prints to make this super simple iPad stand. Then I decided I liked it so much that I made a smaller one for my phone (it's a bit big for the phone, but never mind!). Note the blue, because I have to share the iPhone one with my daughter!


After a quick search on Pinterest, I found this fantastic free pattern on Craftsy by Gaila Designs. This pattern was super easy to follow and came together very quickly. I also love that it folds flat so I can easily throw it in a bag and take it with me.


To make the smaller stand I cut the base board to 4in x 4in and cut each piece of fabric at 5 1/2 x 18/12in. (This will make sense once you read the pattern).

Too easy!
