I love the fact that I'm helping people and encouraging others to sew, and all my patterns are free for all! <br />Best of luck with it all, and I'd love to hear how the kids go with it if you do get the chance to let me know or send any pictures!!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-49681051072722551662014-04-17T01:04:53.824+10:002014-04-17T01:04:53.824+10:00Thanks so much for this tutorial.

May I have your permission to do this? I have tweeked it just slightly to accomodate younger students.

And you've given me an idea for a similar thing to put on the arm of my chair for crochet projects. If I ever figure that one out, I'll link you to a picture.

My great-granddaughter and I both love reading in bed and the nightstands are so small no room to set down afterwards, so on the floor they go til morning. I received a Kindle for Christmas and this is a great solution since I refuse to put it on the floor! Just a note when sewing the grip material (or any other nonglide fabric) I use wax paper between the needle and the fabric. It glides easier and you can see through it. This also tears away easily. Tried to post comment on site but could not figure out the dashboard thing! Will be great for daughter since her cell phone and night meds are always under pillow or bed. <br /> <br />Thanks again for the great idea. <br /> <br />Sharon Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377276479172112517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561146385820548849.post-58440868003120778552013-01-04T07:11:14.352+10:002013-01-04T07:11:14.352+10:00I made a bunch of these out of old jeans and lined...I made a bunch of these out of old jeans and lined them with fun fabrics. I omitted the cover. I sold them at a craft fair, and folks ate them up!<br /><br />One hint: When you sew on the magic grip, put a half-inch strip of waxed paper along the stitching line and the presser foot will glide along nicely.
