My project: Caprisun iPad bag

In the spring, I did some action research for our county's technology department on the affects of the use of technology in the classroom. Since they can't pay me in funds for such a job, they pay teachers with technology. In my case, I earned a iPad. Yes, totally awesome. When I first put my hands on it, the very first thing I thought was, "Oh crap. I'm going to break this dang thing!!" So, I went to work that evening creating a bag for it.

I took some Caprisuns that my boys drank over the summer and cleaned them. Whenever I make a Caprisun bag, I always use a zig zag stitch, overlapping the edges of the pouches, but to make it large enough, I couldn't. I had to use space on the ribbon for enough width. After I made the bag, I attached the ribbon handles and set to work on the inside liner. I don't have a pattern for the liner because I just winged it, but it is made from quilting batting and I tripled the bottom for cushion. I was quite happy with the outcome, except when I use my bag, I can't use an iPad case...not enough room. But, there isn't much I can do about that. Anyway, I'm happy with it :)
