I made a nook cozy!

I searched the internet far and wide for a nook cover. I just didn't like anything that was commercially available--and most of them were ridiculously expensive. I don't want the nook in a cover while I am reading, so I was really looking for a sleeve that I could slip it into when I wasn't using it--and the only sleeves I found were icky neoprene ones on ebay.

So I decided to make my own. I spent about $20 on supplies, but I bought way more of all of my materials than I needed. (DH says I should just make up the extras and sell them on etsy to recoup my cost and contribute to my book fund.)

I used this pattern as a guide, but made a few modifications. First, I made a ribbon-loop closure instead of making the two straps. I also added a pocket--mostly just because I needed a reason to include a cute coordinating fabric, but it does hold my book light. Finally, I used flannel instead of fleece to line my cover, but I attached fusable fleece batting to the outside pieces so that I my nook would be extra cozy and protected.

I heart my nook cozy! I'm so happy with the way it turned out, and I think it's about 1000 times cuter than anything I have seen in stores (including the $125 kate spade cover.)
