FatQuarterGANG_banner400pxBLUE
Hey everyone, my name is Sukie from sukiedontyaknow.com and today’s Fat Quarter Gang tutorial is for your Kindle Fire owners – if you don’t have a kindle then that’s okay, this could be used to hold other things like your small hand projects.

Today’s tutorial is made up from a mixture of Pure Elements and Oval Elements. It doesn't take a lot of fabric to make this project at all!

I hope you have enjoy making the Kindle Wrap! If you do, please be sure to join and upload a picture to the flickr group.

I will be also giving a fat quarter pack away on my blog so head on over Red Rover!
