I saw these laptop sleeves on Etsy and I was thinking "Those are the cutest but I bet I can make them!" so here I am on a Saturday night, making my own laptop cover...
Her covers cost anywhere from $20-30 and I made mine for $9 and less than an hour's worth of work!
I didn't use a pattern, I really just winged it, but next time I'll know some serious do's and do not's... tell me what you think!
Materials:
1/2 yd. of fabric for the outside
1/2 yd. of fabric for the inside
ribbon or buttons
batting/stuffing

| materials |
I promise you I didn't even use a ruler, I just draped the fabric across my laptop, eyeballed it and cut...
Sew 3 sides of the "wrong side" of the fabric together and then turn it inside out so that you have a very long "pillow case" looking thing...
 |
| sew 3 sides of the "pillow case" so that you can stuff it and then sew it up! |
Stuff all of it except for the little flap (again, I just eyeballed it...)
Sew up the sides, add a ribbon and there you have it!
 |
| ta-da! |
Not bad for someone with absolutely no sewing skillz! Let me know if you want more explicit instructions, I promise you I just made it up haha!
Now someone needs to tell me how to make an iPhone case for under $50....
Any more easy crafty ideas?
