I've fallen behind recently what with the fabric sale, the hen weekend, the recovery from the hen weekend, a funeral, manifold meetings and a new workout regime*...
But a request was put in for a Kindle cover and between a meeting with a bank manager, a meeting with our financial adviser, and an epic** three hour nursery committee meeting yesterday I managed to squeeze it in.
I made a couple of changes to Kindle Cover v2.0. First, I raised the height of the pocket a bit for extra security. I've possibly raised it a smidge too much as I can't see the percentage read figure any more. Although the chances that other people are as obsessed with monitoring this figure are slim...
I also double reinforced the spine as such a slim strip of board has a tendency to twist and warp a bit. Score one for anal-retentiveness.
Most importantly, I added a cut away to the pocket base so you can slide the on / off button while it's in the pocket.
*Anyone else done the 30 Day Shred is welcome to regale me with tales of total body makeover.
** Epic in the way The Iliad is epic.
Nifty. I like the on/off hole :)
ReplyDeleteOn a geeky work related note, can you get e-books from your local library?
Nah - I'm obsessed with the % thing too. Husband asks for updates too (we're reading the same book).
ReplyDeleteNice improvements on v2.0 :)
30 day shred will totes work. I'm not going to say I experienced a complete body make over, but I developed muscles that I'd never seen before and I did lose some weight. Also, I had lady guns, like actual bicep muscles that I would flash to anyone interested- and plenty that were not.
ReplyDeleteWow, so cool! I just love that it folds open like that, and the fabrics you used were really pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI love the new cover! If you aren't selling the pattern you should be. I bet it would sell like crazy!
ReplyDeleteI have had friends rave about the shred, so you will get results. But I've also heard to be very careful to avoid hurting your knees. Good luck. I love my weight lifting class and what it does to the arms.
I forgot to mention that in the first weeks of the 30 day shred, I developed IT band irritation and could barely walk for at least 2 more weeks afterward. I would lay on the floor with pillows under each knee and bags of frozen veg on top. so yeah, be careful and aware of your knees- if it starts to hurt, stop. I blame all of the jumping jacks.
ReplyDeleteeveryone seems to excited about the thirty day shred. Kindly report back in thirty days with your opinion. I don't necessarily believe that just because it hurts like an SOB it actually works, in per se... And I'm too busy training for a marathon* to try it myself.
ReplyDelete*cookie-eating marathon
That makes me wish that I had a kindle to make a cover for!
ReplyDeleteI need the pattern for this :o) That is just really cool!
