Laptop Sleeve

I love custom orders! I recently got a request from a friend to make a padded case for a Macbook. I immediately thought of Keyka Lou's latptop sleeve pattern.

Her only request was that it be blue. So I picked out some gorgeous blue fabric that I had bought on my last trip to Joann's. I bought a ton of it because I loved it so much (I might make a pillow with the rest).



I used my Denyse Schmidt "Picnic Fairgrounds" fabric for the lining. I love how the yellow contrasts with the aqua.





And instead of the velcro closure, I used the double button windup. I had seen a Fossil Tech cover that had one and fell in love with the look. I used some giant wooden buttons. I kinda like the mismatched look. I didn't go too mismatched though because I didn't want to have an unhappy customer! lol



Can you tell I love Fossil? On that note, I need to take a moment to brag a little. I can brag right? It is my blog after all. My husband bought me this gorgeous leather purse, wallet, and butterfly earrings from Fossil for our 6 year anniversary.





I love the fabric pompom and the striped lining on the bag! Isn't he the absolute bestest?! I wuv him sooooo much!! Have a great night!

  15. We use laptops everyday but hardly care for cleaning the dirt on it. Laptop skins do not let darts stick on the laptop surface. These are easy to be cleaned. There are many laptops with a smooth surface which may cause the laptop slipping out of hand during mobility. The easy-grip of the laptop skins does not let the laptops slip out. Moreover, you can change the skins with the changing trends whenever you wish.
