I got a Nook Color and decided I needed a cover to carry it in my big bag. However, I didn't like the hard covers so I made my own.
Inspiration: A geocaching friend made me a holder for embroidery supplies a number of years ago. It was a little bigger than my Nook but I used the basic design she used to create my cover.
How I Made It: I used paper to make a pattern. A piece of each of the 3 pocket layers. I decided to add an additional pocket with a snap so I can store my micro SD cards. I used some material I bought years ago for curtains in the dining room (that I never made). The two upper pockets are just folded layers of materials. The lowest pocket has batting. The whole outside has batting. After sewing the pocket piece together, I pinned it to the outer and inner fabric and batting. Sewed the whole thing, turned it (I sewed it inside-out) and then hand-sewed it closed. I wish I'd have added a material loop to the cover to attach to a button. I didn't so instead I used 2 buttons and I use a pony tail holder to keep it together.
