Tutorial: Satchel inspired laptop or tablet sleeve

Mike from The Crafty Gentleman shows how you can sew a simple satchel-inspired case for your laptop or tablet.  Don’t let the buckle straps fool you – this is actually an easy project to make!  AND it would make an awesome gift for dad for Father’s Day! The dimensions he gives will fit a Macbook, but he also tells how to make one to fit any size device.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
