Computer Hot Pad
Hubby likes to sit in his chair and play/read his laptop computer. but as time passes, the computer heats up his lap and he starts to complain.......So for father's day I made him a computer hot pad about 22 inches square. Now he is not so whiny, and Mother is happy on Father's day and beyond. Yeah!

Wonderful job!
Just make sure the pad is not too 'fluffy' and blocks the PC vents. You might damage the machine by overheating. It's recommended that you use a laptop on a hard surface, like a desktop or a laptop cushion with a hard surface top.

Your little hot pad is pure genius. How funny how we each solve a problem differently. when DD complained of the same thing, I gave her a cookie sheet with a cooling rack to set in her lap. I never thought to make something with fabric.
