I’ve just finished making the sleeve for my new laptop. I wanted a small slim sleeve to protect\u00a0the laptop while it’s in another bag, so I intentionally didn’t include a handle or strap.<\/p>\n

I made\u00a0the\u00a0sleeve out of\u00a0heavy cotton fabric\u00a0(actually leftover fabric from\u00a0curtains<\/a> that I shortened for\u00a0a friend). I made a quilted lining\u00a0out of a soft stretch knit fabric and batting. And yes, the stretch fabric was a mistake\u00a0–\u00a0I only picked it because of the colour, and it was\u00a0so stretchy that it was very difficult to work with.\u00a0I had to iron fusible interfacing onto the flap lining to\u00a0make it stable enough to work with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I used velcro to close the bag, and sewed a ribbon trim on the flap in a colour to match the lining. I had ideas for more embellishments, but I like it being clean and simple.<\/p>\n

\nThe outer sleeve and lining before I stitched them together. See my lovely quilting on the lining? <\/em><\/p>\n

\nThe finished sleeve, closed…<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\n…and open. The laptop fits perfectly inside with no room to spare.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nThere’s the quilted lining again.<\/em><\/p>\n
