Nerdy Pop is my little Etsy shop. I love kawaii, pink, animals, and my Kindle.

How are you liking the vinyl cover? I'm kinda waiting to buy one until I see if the vinyl helps or not. Love your cases!

Actually, they seem to do great. Eventually, the vinyl will crack a bit, any vinyl will. And it depends on how much you use it. But it's been holding up great on the covers my sister and I have been using. Of course, it's wonderful to have one you can just give a quick wipe, because the outside can go so dirty so quickly! If you are interested in one, send me a convo on Etsy and I can help you out :D<3 Lizz

School's Out!

OMG! I know I haven't updated the blog in AGES, but school and sewing all at once was making me very busy. But school is out now and I am free for three whole months. And I am very excite about it. So I'm going to run another coupon. 10% off until, methinks, yes, July 4th! Code: SUMMER12OMG ♥| Go Shop!

Vacation

I am on vacation right now and the shop is temporarily closed while I catch up on the orders that have been piling up. But I reckon most of my questions will be about order status. These are a lot of the reason that I am behind right now :( I had gotten so many convos from the after Christmas crowd that they put me completely behind schedule because I had to spend a lot of time typing and not sewing. Right now the current lead in time is about 28 days. Once I am ready to ship a cover I print the postage from Paypal for domestic orders and they will send you an email with the tracking number so that you can keep an eye out for your cover. For international shipments, I must take those directly to the post office. I will try to use the shipment notification button here on Etsy, but I must be honest, I may well forget to do that on a couple of covers. Please forgive me. I likely will not respond to those convos again because, I would just have to repeat what I just typed above :p If your question is not related to order status, the answer will probably be delayed until I have some time to sit down and respond to several conversations at once so that I'm not stopping a bunch of times while trying to sew. I am so sorry for the delay in everything. I am working as quick as I can right now to get everyone's covers to them asap!! I thank everyone in advance for their understanding. P.S. When I am back from vacay, I will extend the coupon. That way we won't miss any coupon happiness!

A gorgeous picture of a Kindle cover in real-life. Cats love these things. Apparently, Grace's kitty likes to use it for a pillow. My cat, Hannie, like to hug them and rub her face on them while I'm trying to read. Thanks so much to Grace for this picture and letting me post it. It is SUPER cute!

iPad 2 Cover!

I made my first ever iPad 2 cover. It's real pretty :) I don't have an iPad, I don't have that short of money, but I measured everything very carefully and I think it will be perfect. Here it is: Go look >>

Custom Items: General

I had previously said that I would not take custom requests and for good reason. At the time. But for the time being, I have enough time that custom requests are doable.

From here, custom requests will be considered on a case by case basis. If the request is reasonable enough, for an item that I already make, and I have the fabric, etc. I will probably be able to work with ya :D It won’t hurt to convo me, and I can let you know what I can do! And now I shall give further tidbits to help:

♥ I still will not have an online album of my fabrics. That is extremely time consuming, and I don’t actually think it is very helpful. It is very hard to tell what might go together when you are looking at fabrics online. And I will not put fabrics together that do not look good together to my eye. If you have seen my other stuff and like it though, maybe my judgement can be trusted in the fabric choice department.

♥ I won’t consider a request for an item that I don’t make or better put: has never been available in my shop. (Long wallets being the exception, as I can make them, they are on my blog, they just haven’t gotten into the shop yet.)

For now, that ‘s what comes to mind, but I will certainly add to it as things arise :D

Custom Covers: Fabrics

I get a lot of people asking about my covers who love the design, but are looking for a different fabric. And I think it's a lovely idea. How much fun to choose your own fabric and get the cover of your dreams for your device?! How can I do this you ask? This is how it works: 1. Look online (Etsy, Superbuzzy, wherever) for a fabric that you like. Fabrics that will work will be cotton (regular weight, canvas, twill, home dec weight is even okay). Then you send me the link to it so that I can check it out. 2. I ask that people only pick out the main fabric that would be the front and prominent pocket on the cover because it is almost impossible to tell online what will go together. I know it is a pain to ask you to trust my judgement, but I will pick out the coordinates once I see the fabric. I almost always just stick to polka dots, stripes, simple basics really. 3. If the fabric is workable and I can get it I will set up a listing / invoice for the cover and once it is purchased and paid, I will order the fabric. Then, when the fabric is in I can work on the cover. The cost of the cover will depend on the cost of the fabric chosen. There is also an additional charge for this sort of custom item that will depend on the amount of the shipping and handling. Usually when I order fabric, I order several at a time to save myself some shipping. Shipping individual fabrics, however, is kinda expensive, hence the custom item fee. The fee usually ranges from about $3-6 depending on where the fabric is coming from and how much the actual shipping cost is. If you do have any other questions about it, please feel free to ask using the link above :D

Experimental Model

So, I’m really a big clutz. I am always dropping things. My poor phone, I can’t believe it works at all any more. I’m always wobbling and tripping and spilling things. Hence my experimental model. I’ll be honest, when I got this fabric, I had every intention of keeping the model I made for photography purposes. It’s just so cute! Wee little hearts hidden in the paisley? And those colors?! Too cute. But my sister and I also thought that this just might be the perfect opportunity for a vinyl test run. Voila! I laminated the fabric with clear vinyl and I am going to test it out and see how it holds up on the cover. If I am satisfied with it wonderful, wipe-able covers will be for sale in the shop! I will give news as soon as I have been using for the cover a while :D In the meantime, this cover is available in plain fabric in the shop!

Order Statuses

I really am so excited that many people wanted one of my covers for their new readers, or as gifts for friends and I am working as quickly as possible to get them all done for you :D But I must make this note: I have gotten so many emails and conversations from people, many of whom have orders that are only a couple of days old, about if, or when, their order is shipping. Unfortunately, I really got so many, that it has gotten to be almost impossible to keep track of, messages are getting lost, and I have spent hours trying to respond to them. Even more unfortunate, is that this has obviously cost me sewing time as well and has put me a few days behind. If you ordered within the USA, you will get an email automatically from Paypal when I have shipped your order. For international orders, I will do my best to utilize Etsy's shipping notification button. From today (Jan 4) until everything calms down, I will be replying to my messages only at the end of the night, with a copied and pasted generic response to that effect. I absolutely hate to work in such a robot like fashion, but it's the only way I am going to be able to get back on time, finish everyone's covers and remain sane. I thank everyone so much for their understanding! You are all important to me and I want everyone to read and surf happily! xoxo. **Standard lead in time for covers being ordered now may be one week additional due to the holiday rush.

Saw Horse Woodworks

So, I’ve got this guy friend who is like the big brother I never had. And he has a legit little brother who is a carpenter and makes the coolest stuff ever! He uses really lovely reclaimed wood and it’s all very eco-happy and all that fun stuff. If I had more money, I would spend it all in his shop. I could really use more bookshelves … Saw Horse Woodworks

Thank you so much for the follow back! I love your stuff and I cant wait to buy (: do you do iPads?

1) No, thank you! Your reblog was so sweet!2) Let me apologize in advance for what will no doubt be a convoluted answer to this question: I haven't ever made an iPad cover yet, though I certainly could and would be willing to. I don't ever cut the fabric for those because they are so big they would take a lot of fabric and people don't ask for them often.If I were to make one, it would be probably be done like I do the custom fabric requests. For which there are two choices. If you find a fabric you like in a local shop, you can send the fabric to me and I can make the cover with it. Or, if you find a fabric you like online and it is something that I can order, I invoice for the cover and then purchase the fabric. Once it arrives, I make the cover with that.An iPad cover would also be more expensive since they are so much larger. Starting at about $42 (a little less if the fabric is sent in). Ultimately the end price will depend on the cost of the fabric either way.If you are ever interested in one at some point let me know! Then we can go over all the details :D♥ Lizz
