Laptop Bags



Two little laptop bags!

This is the first time I have ever done something like this. My husband requested a laptop cover for his mom's new mini that she was receiving for her birthday. I  had the hardest time finding a tutorial that met my needs as I needed some where to store the cord too and none of the laptop cases I found had that.

So first I made one for me. I didn't want to give something crappy to my mother-in-law.

I used this tutorial at amy a la mode . I added a bit of length to fit the cord on the side. I am not happy with it. The tutorial was great. I just don't like the added width.

By the way if you haven't noticed I seem to be collecting Momo fabric. 

So soon it will meet my seam ripper. Check back later for that :)

After I finished I had a better understanding of the construction. So I altered it a bit using the same basic math from the previous tutorial.

Ok a lot. I gave it a tab instead of a flap to close it and I made a pocket on the front. I really like this one and so did my mother-in-law. She even got all teary eyed. I was really nice to give something to someone who appreciated handmade gifts.

  4. From following you on pinterest it seems you share my fondness for stars. I am attempting a star quit, which is a little advanced for my skill level, and wonder if you could help me with some troubles I am having. I can email details, if interested.
