I have a really big laptop. its 17.5 incher. how would i go about making this for my laptop? What would the measurements need to be? Also, i really like this idea, bcz i can never fine a laptop sleeve that fits and that i like, so this give me the chance to make it perfect :) I might combine it with the “Book Tote” tutorial i read earlier :)

I just made one for a mini – easy!!! I just eyeballed the dimensions, wrapped it around and thought real hard. I made it bigger than it needed to be. Then I used a huge seam allowance, and tried it out, then decided it needed to be smaller, so I went around again a bit inside the old stitches. Then I cut off the extra from the seam. I also made a flap that is longer in the front. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had made one already with a liner and padding and sewing inside out and made a complete thick bunchy mess. Gah. I was already planning version 2 with something like a quilt binding for the edges, and then found this tute – perfect timing! I made mine with one layer of pre-quilted stuff from the fabric store for the inner layer, and one layer of quilter’s cotton on the outer. I made my own bias tape out of a complimentary fabric, and it was so easy! Honestly, the hardest part of the entire project was making the binding. Next time I will try to find someone with a bias tape machine! I also skipped the velcro, and instead used a loop of wide elastic stitched to the center of the back. My sister is going to love it!!

you can buy fusible wadding! isn’t that great – or using a tacking stitch to hold it there.

“Fuse the interfacing to the lining piece and the wadding to the outside piece.”

How do I fuse wadding to something?
