Sewing a laptop sleeve/accessories??
Since I can't find a sleep for my laptop (outside of $100plus custom jobs) and I'm a good sewer, I've decided to make my own! I might pop over to Joann's to see if there are any bag patterns, but otherwise thinking of prequilted material and lining it with flannel (soft and shouldn't scratch). Ideas/hint? If anyone has done this, I'd love to hear from you!
These are really great ideas! Didn't think of waterproofing it. I have some rubber lined flannel (for burpbibs and such) that might work. Looking forward to seeing what others crafty chicks are thinking!
I currently have my own cut out, but haven't gotten around to sewing it up yet. Ooops. I was considering adding a layer from a waterproof bedsheet (available in baby supply stores) but haven't gotten that yet. The one I'm making is going to slip right into my regular briefcase, where I also carry a waterbottle, hence the layer of waterproof bedsheet.
If you want details on this pattern, please email me the following measurements for your laptop, all taken when it's closed: measure its height by width, and then measure all the way around it longways. If this doesn't make sense, email me for further explanation.
For my old laptop (a 1996 model affectionately referred to as my 'baby dinosaur') I made a carrying case. It had its own case, but had only a small handle and no shoulder strap. I was trying to figure out how to add a shoulder strap to the case it came with, but found it easier to make a case for the case. The purchased case had a good zipper seal, so it just sat inside the homemade case, which was about 3/4 the height of the purchased one. I made a security strap that went over the purchased case and through the little handle on top of it, buttoning securely to the homemade case.
