Tutorial: Padded travel laptop case

Rebecca from Our Busy Little Bunch guest blogs at Bear Creek Quilting Company, showing how to make a padded bag to carry your laptop. This bag is built for travel! It has long straps so you can carry it on your shoulder. A zipper across the top keeps your laptop secured, and a zippered pocket on the front holds your charger. On the back, a slip pocket allows you to slip it over the handle of rolling lugging. Inside, there’s a large pocket to hold papers and files and such. Finished measurements are 15.5″ wide x 12″ tall x 2″ deep. If those dimensions don’t work for your laptop, it should be easy enough to alter them. Go to Bear Creek Quilting Company to find her tutorial.
