This uses a simple wave stitch pattern and Rainbow colors to create a fun design that reminds me of Sherbet (hence the name).


I designed this tablet cover for my Ipad mini. I made it in landscape orientation because that's the way I typically use my tablet.This cover measures at 9" x 5.5" and it has some stretch, so it should fit over slightly larger devices. It fits over my Ipad mini with the hard case on it.
