Argh! My daughter is getting a Kindell for her birthday next Friday....and wants me to make a bag to carry it in. She is obsessed with books and always carries them in a bag. She is getting the Kindell and is ordering a book cover...now she wants a bag to carry it in.
I know the dimensions I need the bag to be... 8 1/2 x 5 1/2. She loves lady bugs and I have some appliqued lady bug squares I got for that auction site years ago. The problem is the size of the squares. Four of them sewed together will give me a finished square of 10 inches. Too big. (she also wants a side pocket for it as well!)
Know of any good patterns for this sort of thing? Anyone got any ideas? For some reason my mind is having trouble wrapping itself around the whole concept. I've made bags before, so I'm not sure what is wrong with me on this one!
And while I did manage to finish a quilt for a shower gift next week, I am woefully behind on my Christmas sewing! Anybody got any extra time they aren't using? I'm sure I could find a way to make it my own!!!!

Can you use 2 of the appliques, one front and back as the pocket, stitched down on a pretty co-ordinating fabric? I've got a Kindle too, and love it. We travel alot, and now I can carry as many books as I want, and it takes up less room than one paperback! I've just got the plain black leather cover.
