My daughter asked me to make a sleeve for her new laptop computer. It seemed like a simple enough project that I could probably design something myself, but then I saw
this pattern and thought "Why reinvent the wheel?".
Michelle (also known as
KeykaLou) had already designed a very nice looking sleeve and for just a few dollars I could have her pattern downloaded in a matter of minutes and save myself tons of time. I'm so glad I did, because I really like the looks of this sleeve. As usual, Michelle's pattern is easy to follow, and very stylish. I've used several of her patterns, and haven't been disappointed yet.
The pattern is designed for a 13" MacBook Pro, but will fit a variety of brands as long as the dimensions are close in size. I love the dart detail in the corners - makes it lay nice and flat so it's easy to insert the computer into the sleeve. I used fabrics from Joel Dewberry's Aviary 2 collection - Damask for the outside, and Lodge Lattice for the lining. Now I just have to drop this in the mail, and hope my daughter likes it!
I'm thinking about making some of these to list in my
Etsy Shop - do you think they'd sell???
