An essential part of the gear of every laptop is the carrying case. You can find some that are bulky and some that are sleek, but one thing they have in common is that they are drab. With this blog J&O offers an economical and stylish alternative to the usual laptop sleeves and cases with a fabric laptop sleeve. Using this idea you can make yourself a laptop sleeve with a velcro flap fit for a 15″ laptop. Thanks to designspongeonline.com for the wonderful idea.
First, gather your materials. These include a 3/4 yards each of two colors of felt, 3/4 yards double-sided fusbile interfacing, a package of round sticky Velcro dots, scissors, and iron.
Begin by laying one piece of felt flat and placing your laptop in the middle and cut out corners to creat a cross shape. Trim the flaps of felt so that they overlap each other about 2 inches. Use this piece as a template with which to repeat the process on the other piece of felt and the interfacing. Sandwich the interfacing between the two layers of felt and iron to fuse. After evening up the edegs with scissors you can adhere the Velcro dots where the edges overlap.
