Download a PDF of the pillow stand pattern. It can be obtained from here: http://blog.ipevo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/PadPillow_sewing_pattern.pdf. It will print the size required. Or, you can use the image provided here but be aware that it may not size correctly. When using the pdf, it's possible that the pattern may be bigger than a standard document, so you may have to print it using a larger than normal paper. Using scissors, cut out the pattern shapes from the printed document. Place the paper pattern cutouts onto the fabric you're using. Trace around the shapes with a fabric pencil or tailor's chalk. Cut out the pieces from the fabric. You will end up with three fabric cutouts––one long rectangle piece and two chisel-like shapes. Following the pattern guide, add the leather tag. Sew the leather tag onto the rectangular cloth cutout using needle and thread. With a sewing machine, sew the chisel shapes onto the rectangular shape. Follow the pattern to guide you as to where to join the pieces. When you’ve sewn all three fabric cutouts together, you’ll have the basic shape of the iPad pillow stand. There will also be a hole in the back to allow you to stuff the foam

inside the fabric stand. Cut the first piece of carving foam using a ruler and razor knife. This smaller piece should measure 12.6 x 9.1 x 1.6 inches (32 x 23 x 4cm). Shave down one side of the foam piece to form a semi-triangular shape rather than leaving it as a simple rectangle. Cut the second triangular piece of foam. This larger piece should measure 6.3 x 5.7 x 12.6 inches (16 x 14 x 32cm ), where 6.3 inches is the base of the triangle, 5.7 inches is the height, and 12.6 inches is the length. Carefully stuff the foam pieces into the fabric cover. Add them one at a time, pushing them in through the opening of the sewn-together fabric cover. Try folding the two foam sections together. If either piece of foam doesn’t fit neatly, you’ll need to remove the foam pieces and trim them for a better fit. Done! Enjoy your very own homemade iPad pillow stand. It’s perfect for holding your iPad or eBook readers in your lap or anywhere else.
