DIY Sweater MacBook Case by The Merrythought
Have an old sweater you no longer wear but has a cute design? You can turn it into a laptop sleeve. I think a felted wool sweater would work best for this, though you could also use a non-felted sweater if it was thick and didn’t have much stretch to it.

This laptop sleeve isn’t sewn from fabric at all. It’s made from leather (or faux leather). Pockets across the front will hold your cords and other small accessories. The closure is a simple cord that wraps around the sleeve several times.

I recently made a quilted laptop case and all of them did not include handles which is what I was specifically looking for. I think a clutch-style could be dropped much easier when transporting it.
