My
how time flies!
We
gave her a laptop for part of her graduation gift. She has been shopping for a sleeve to protect
it while it is in her book bag. The ones
she really likes are super expensive so I offered to make her one. She went into my stash and chose the
fabric. I went to Jennifer’s and found a
wonderful tutorial here and here.

I
turned this…
Into
this…
DD did not want handles since this will be carried inside a larger bag. We can always add them later if she changes her mind.
It's hard to see but there is an outside pocket she can use to carry the charger or headphones...or both.
This project took me about 4 ½ hours…start to finish. Jennifer’s tutorial is chock full of photos and is well written. So easy to follow.
That
left me enough time to catch up on the FQS’s Deck-Ade the Halls blocks. Wreaths and trees…This project took me about 4 ½ hours…start to finish. Jennifer’s tutorial is chock full of photos and is well written. So easy to follow.
I have difficulty getting good photos in the sewing cave :(
It’s
really beginning to look a lot like Christmas! (sorry, I couldn’t
resist).

What a wonderful gift made with love! Thanks for the link back to my tutorial. Enjoy the sleeve!
That great lap top cover pretty much forces wonderful thoughts of her mom to the front of all of her activities. Beautiful job on it by the way and thanks for pointing out the tutorial.
It's funny I just pulled a kindergarden picture out of my son looking and thinking "where did the time go" too..lol
Love the laptop bag, you are very talented!..I can't wait to see the finish of your Christmas block quilt.
Have a wonderful week!

How adorable she looked as a child, Jeanna! And it looks like she even had a laptop case in the photo (wink). I hope she loves every minute of college - she'll be very stylish with the case mom made. Christmas? Arghhhh.....please tell me it isn't that far off ;>)
Cheers!
So cute! Perfect!! She will love it!!!

Our children grow up way too fast! She is adorable and I know she loves her new laptop case.
I love the FQS's Christmas quilt but haven't even had a chance begin. Yours is so pretty!
