I pads are becoming the tech gadget of choice for lots of people. Whilst I love my boring black magnetic cover, i am anxious about popping it into my handbag, and feel it needs some extra padding, so i am gonna make myself a padded fabric sleeve. These retail from at least £20 and they are super quick to make!

The beauty of making your own is that there are loads of styles, and you can tailor your design for the recipient. I personally like plain covers, so am making in delicious boiled wool, with a yummy red lining. Here’s another style, click here to follow the instructions on how to make one for yourself
