I do love felt

And I love my Kindle and I love making Kindle covers. And I love recycling.
So the perfect combination has to be my new Kindle cover made from recycled felt from a charity shop jumper (and some scraps of fabric from my extensive collection of fabric scraps).
Normally the covers have a layer of wadding to provide some padding but with the felt you don't need this. Felted wool is lovely and cosy, and beautifully fluffy, but it's a teeny bit harder than cotton fabric to sew in a straight line. I can hopefully improve on this in the future but it's part of the charm really.
