Rainbow Sleeve

So many of us have devices that just sit on our desk or a table and collect dust when not in use. From tablets to ereaders and cell phone, there are so many devices that could use cute covers.

Each of my children have tablets and each one of them will be getting a sleeve for their device in a colour scheme of their choosing. My one child requested rainbow, another wants orange and blue, and another wants greyscale. This pattern, which is a free download, has a lovely texture that will accent the colour choices wonderfully.
