A Present for a Man

I have made this tablet case for my dad for Christmas. I used scraps of fabric from a dress made for Big sis and some recycled jeans, a zip I already had but I had to purchase a small amount of wadding.(99p worth actually!)



 
My dad works outside building or at the farm so I made a larger zip holder so that if he has cold or mucky fingers he can get hold of it.(they are the bits of a broken necklace on a leather string) At present he has his tablet wrapped in a piece of material slung on the truck seat so I thought this would add extra protection.
 
A man bag indeed. One more present to wrap. Jo x

    Such a great present idea for you Dad, they are always so hard to shop or make for aren't they. There is no way that you could tell that it was made from what you had, or that it was handmade even - which I mean in a good way! I'm sure your Dad will love it. xx

    All the men in my life are notoriously difficult to find gifts for - this is a great idea! I only wish I had your talent to actually make it!

    This is such a good idea. It's often hard to think of handmade gifts for men but you've got this spot on. x

    Hi Jo - I've tried three times to leave you a message on your latest post but when I click publish, or preview, the message disappears, yet you seem to be getting other messages through okay - any answers for me please?
    Maybe this one won't work for me either! Love, Joy x
