The result is a bag that I love, that is big enough to fit the iPad plus a few other things that I may want to carry around with me including the wireless keyboard, but that won't win any awards for design or construction. For example, it didn't occur to me that I had no idea how to add straps until after the rest of the bag was done. Live and learn. Next time I'll use a pattern. But for now...
VOILA!
The yellow fabric is a durable canvas-type material and the inside is soft, cozy flannel. Everything, from the fabric to the button to the elastic loop for the button, was from my stash. It took less than an hour, and I will be using it regularly, I am sure. Well, at least until I make another one where I actually follow a pattern!

Great job!
Maybe the pattern won't be as much to your liking!! You did a great job. I just ordered me an ipad and I can't wait for it to get here! Have a fun weekend (and try to get a little rest!)
I should have just come straight to you when I was agonising and reading every single tutorial on the internet about how to make a laptop cover last year. Yours looks brilliant!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend my friend.
Such a wonderful bag!! And it's so bright and cheery it will be hard to misplace. Great job!!!!!!
It's wonderful and GREAT to use what you have on hand!
Looks great to me!!!!
Pattern-schmattern. Who needs it. I did the same kind of thing because I needed a clothespin bag this weekend. Just sat down and did it. And, like you, I love the result. I'll blog it in a couple days. Lane
