Tutorial: Laptop or notebook sleeve

Randi at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics shows how you can make this notebook or laptop sleeve, in a guest tutorial at During Quiet Time. Fusible fleece between the outside and the lining helps protect the computer from bumps. The closure is a simple Velcro tab across the top opening. The cutting instructions she gives will make a sleeve that’s 12 1/2″ x 9″, which fits a computer that measures 12″ x 8″ x 1″. You can adjust the dimensions to fit your own notebook or laptop computer.
