DIY Laptop Sleeve

11 Oct

 

 

 

After waiting and waiting, I finally purchased my MacBook Air a few months ago. Not only was I super excited to upgrade to a newer laptop, I was also excited about making a brand new case for my shiny laptop! I used two graphic & bright fabrics (thank you, iKea!), old felt for padding, and an extremely long zipper that I accidentally purchased awhile ago and sewed my case using this tutorial. Luckily, my laptop is super skinny, otherwise it may not have fit! Its a bit snug, which is probably due to the felt layer, but I’m happy with the results. Now I can cart my laptop around without worrying about it!

    Wow, I love this! It totally beats my ugly black laptop bag. I may have to try this myself, it’d help me master my zippers!

    Hi,

    I’ve got a small question on the measurement. If I have a laptop 13-inch wide with a thickness of 0.5 inch, what should be the width of the fabric? Is it 14 inches + 1.5 inches margin or 13.5 inches +1.5 inches margin? Thanks a lot. :)

    Hi, I am in love with this idea and have been dying for a new laptop case. I was just wondering how you added the felt for padding? Did you just stuff it in…? Thank you for such a great idea and hope that you’ve been having a great week!
