E-readers, tablets and iPads have changed the way we digest information. They are quite portable and can get caught in the mix when travelling or attending meetings so make yours stand out. Nancy Zieman thought of everything when she designed the E-Tablet & Paper Tablet Keeper template by Clover. Really – everything. Why? Nancy will tell you (okay, I didn’t ask her but I’m pretty sure she would agree) the devil is in the details. And ‘homemade’ is definitely in the details. What makes one project look like it was thrown together and another to have been created over days and weeks? The details – the binding, the trim accents, the feel of the fabric and the fit. If you nail the details, then you’ll be pleased with the outcome.
Nancy has addressed all the details with helpful products that make the finished project look very professional.
First, there’s the E-Tablet & Paper Tablet Keeper template. A 3-in-1 pattern (that will probably outlast your tablet) for small, medium and large readers includes markings for a tab closure, magnet, center accent, pockets and the like. No guesswork here, just mark your fabric and cut.
Second, Clover’s Pre-cut Tablet Keeper Shapers. Oh my, slip this sturdy material into the keeper and voila! Your keeper is stiff as a board.
Third, Create-a-Strap fusible interfacing with precut folds. If you struggle with cutting and pressing strips into perfect rectangles, then this product is for you. Every time I use it, I’m so darn impressed with my results, I can’t help but grin. Nancy’s products make me look brilliant!
With these tools in hand, I couldn’t wait to get started. Since I’m a machine embroiderer, I wanted to embellish the outside cover. I played around with fonts in digitizing software and created this fun design. Then, I selected a faux suede fabric and hooped it in Magna-Hoop Jumbo to avoid hoop burn.
After the embroidery was complete, I simply followed Nancy’s instructions and completed the Keeper in about an hour.
I used elastic hair bands at the corners to hold my Kindle in place – per Nancy’s suggestion. I just tacked them on the corners (I followed the markings on the Tablet Keeper Template for placement).
The ends get hidden under the inner spine and later, the binding.
Wow – it was way easier than I thought it would be!
Love the embroidery design? I made it just for you! Download the free 5” x 7” embroidery design by clicking here. You’ll find two versions – a youthful multi-color version and a more sophisticated two-color design.
Blog Tour DetailsThe Tablet Keeper Blog Tour is underway. Twenty featured bloggers have been selected to create a Tablet Keeper and host a stop on this exciting Blog Tour. Clover sent each blogger a Tablet Keeper template set, plus all the findings (shapers, create-a-strap, hardware, etc.) Each weekday, for 20 days in January, be sure to visit the guest blogger’s site to see their Tablet Keeper creation. Each day on Nancy Zieman’s Facebook page, Nancy will be directing everyone to the next stop on the Blog Tour.

BetsyC
13 years agoAbsolutely LOVE your embroidery design. I created a cover for my iPad, but didn’t know about Nancy’s templates or the Clover tablet shapers. Am definitely going to try to “remake” my cover so it’s top-notch, just like all the tablets featured in the blog tour!

Elizabeth Colledge
13 years agoI would use it for all the iPads in my life. There are a few family and friends who have an iPad and we always pick up each others ipad by mistake. It’s funny to watch as we all pick up an ipad that we think belongs to us, but when we double check to make sure, realise it’s not and then the guessing game begins.
Sharon Aiken
13 years agoI would use it for the Ipad I got for Christmas.
Jean Guenther
13 years agoI would definately use it for the Ipad to show off the things I love. Sewing, embroidery and Ipad! Pre Ipad I made a steno notebook cover that I dragged with me for years. This is great for the electronic age.

13 years agoI would use it for the iPad. Thanks for the free design download.
Dale Fedor
13 years agoI’d use it to make e-reader covers. My grandkids each have one (DIL says that way she is not hunting for library books that somehow get hidden in the house). If I make them of different colors/material, they can see whose is whose. Thank you for the download Eileen.
Beth R

MCrews

Joan Davidson
13 years agoYou two have outdone yourselves once again. I would use the template for my e-reader and for notepaper. Both would be of great benefit to me. And, think of the gifts! Wow.
Clem
13 years agoI love this design. I am in the process of moving. We are in the house, but our stuff is not…I am saving my pennies, nickles, dimes to purchase the templates. My daughter and granddaughter both have nooks (as do I ;)). I would make a cover for all of us.
thanks for the wonderful designs.
Lyn Blansett

Laura Sexton
13 years agoI’m very excited about the e-tablet/paper keepers. Don’t you just hate it when your paper gets all wrinkled in your tote! And my iPad cover is boring: can’t wait for my templates to arrive.

Jean Maumenee
13 years agoI would like to make a cover for my new Kindle Fire. Thank for the embroidery download. I love the covers with embroidery on them and such a fun inspirational message.
Jody Burks
13 years agoI would use it for IPad, Kindle and covered paper notepads. I think a covered notepads would make a nice “I was thinking of you” gift.
Marsha Nelson
13 years agoI need a cover for my Nook and am excited to make one. I think my granddaughters would love the notepads. The cover you made is darling with all the words of wisdom.
Betsy
13 years agoI’m still using “paper tablets”. I bring one to all my sewing classes so this is definitely on my to-do list.
Desiree Kumpf
13 years agoThis was great timing. I bought myself a Nook for Christmas and have been trying to decide how to make a cover. And then of course it has to be embroidered, so I’ve been agonizing over what design to use. I love this one! Now I have to dig through my fabric stash.
Stella
13 years agoThis is perfect…I was looking for a pattern to make an I-pad cover for my daughter. Now I don’t have to invent the wheel. The embroidery design is great.
Nancy Owens

Linda Corbin
13 years agoI had already ordered Nancy’s templates because I had been trying to make a cover for a friend’s Kindle for several years and this looked so much better than my designs. Then my sweet husband got me a Kindle for Christmas/Birthday (Christmas eve)so now I’m really anxious to make some. Now you show me the great embroidery design to go on the front – WOW. Sew much fun! Whoever came up with this daily blog idea should get a bonus!
Anne Marie Reilly
13 years agoI would use it to make a cover for my Nook but I think it would be useful to make covers for journals and similar size books to give as gifts.
Cathy Chalk
13 years agoEileen, this is great for my Kindle. I am going to replace on of your insprirational words with my name to “make it mine”! Love it, love it. You keep me inspired!!

Peggy
13 years agothanks for the emb design. Plan to use it to make a bag for my Nook.
Laurie Dacus
13 years agoUse this for? Gee, Kindles and iPads are the latest craze. I would use this template for gifts (and from that, maybe make some $$ selling some too). For me, it would be for a notebook, as I do not have the latest in techie gadgets, too much fun sewing and embroidering… and I saw the PAL demonstrated just this week, and would LOVE to have one. thanks
Nancy
13 years agovery nice, can’t wait to make one myself
Kathe

Mary
13 years agoI’ve got the template and the inserts. I’m making one for my Kindle Fire this weekend, and then a tablet keeper for work. I’ve been following the blog hop and am going to incorporate a couple of ideas in my Keeper. The Pen loop is a necessity for the tablet keeper.
Cathie Paski
13 years agoDefinitely want to make this tablet case. I just got a Toshiba thrive and this is perfect since I love to embroider too.
Ann Acquilano
13 years agoI have a Nook, I received for Christmas last year. Although I have a cover. I would love a more personalized cover. Your design will give me the personally cover I haouve been looking for. Thank you. Nothing is more personal then some you have made yourself.

Terri Vanden Bosch
13 years agoNancy makes great products so I would love to make this for some notebook covers–yes I still like to take notes with a pencil!!
Sylvia
13 years agoLove the design, I have an iPad that will look wonderful in the case when I get it made. Think the PAL tool is a wonderful addition to the tools you have available. No more designs going up or downhill on my projects.
Elaine Taylor
13 years agoI have a kindle and my family members have iPads and kindles of different sizes. I would enjoy making these covers!!!
Kathy Schmidt
13 years agoI would love to make my hubby a cover for his ipad type touch pad.
Vicky Isliefson
13 years agoToo bad I already bought a pretty cool leather cover for my Kobo, but I could make a cover for my planner that I use to keep track of my students and classes.
Jayne Shindel
13 years agoThis is just the project I need. The first one will be for my Kindle Fire and the second will be for a notebook. May just start now for next Christmas presents.
Karen O
13 years agoI would use this to make a paper tablet keeper. Hopefully someday I will have a Kindle Fire or something like it, but meanwhile it would be a pretty tablet or maybe even a Journal keeper!
Margaret Pepper
13 years agoI have been looking for a pattern that I like for my Kindle. I believe I have found it! I would also use it for other members in my family who own nooks and ipads.
Liz Fergus

Ilana
13 years agoI would like to make this for my Nook and also for my husband’s iPad. Thanks for the embroidery design. It’s really great.
Mary
13 years agoLove your embroidery. I would use for traditional tablet, but my daughter thought we might like a Kindle. Who knows.
Judith Carlon
13 years agoMy daughter got a Kindle Fire for Christmas. She is an avid reader. I would love to make the Kindle keeper with this embroidery design on it.
Staci Williams
13 years agoI would use it for the Kindle Fire I received at Christmas. I have been looking for the perfect cover and this looks like it.
Dale
13 years agoI would have to make it for a tablet. I’m old school until I buy one of these new fangled e-readers (or Hubby buys it). But the cover is so cute.
Cheryl
13 years agoI love the embroidery. For me, I would use the pattern to make a paper pad. But then I would make an IPad cover for my grandmother and dad, and a kindle cover for my dad.
Linda Mattson
13 years agoI would love to make a keeper for my e-reader. I have the template on my wish list. I enjoyed the choice of fabrics that you used for yours.
Michele T
13 years agoI don’t have a Kindle yet but am hoping for one… at least I’m hinting my family to get me one!!
Soph Hall
13 years agoI am usually skeptical of things that “are simpler than you think” –it’s not always simple. I have an e-reader, and many high school students will be using them more and more. In this world we don’t like to blend in–but show our independence. I like too, the old fashioned paper tablets. This is an ideal tool to get all you need and be creative. Thanks Nancy for dreaming it up, and Eileen for demonstrating how gorgeous it really is up close.
Shirley in Canada
13 years agoWhat a wonderful way to showcase your reader!! Thank you for such a great design! I think I will use it for both a reader and gifts with notepads for friends!

Ann Lindemann
13 years agoI am going to make mine for my kindle. I cannot live without it. I think I will also make one for a paper note pad too. Thank you so very much for the embroidery design it will make my kindle keeper so unique. I like you idea of using the magna hoop when hopping the fabric. I plan to use syn. swede and that will help with the hooping lines. Thanks again for all your great ideas I draw a lot of inspiration from you and Nancy.
Kathy
13 years agoI am an equal opportunity e-reader! I already have a Kindle and Nook and plan to get an IPad soon. Also have at least 6 family members waiting in line for new covers.
Thanks for the designs and inspiration!
Nancy Wildzunas
13 years agoI have been looking for a Ipad cover and this is perfect. Thanks

You’re on the right page. If you begin from the top of the blog, scroll down until you see the embroidery design in white/blue and in multiple colors. You’ll see the following text: “Love the embroidery design? I made it just for you! Download the free 5” x 7” embroidery design by clicking here.”
Best,
Denise

12 years agoI love the idea of being able to use the cover for a paper tablet. As a reading specialist, I have to go to a lot of meetings about students. I always use a note pad to write down my notes. This cover will look great at the meetings. Maybe someday I will be able to upgrade to an ipad.
