Last year I made laptop sleeves for my granddaughters because they weren't as readily available in the stores as they are now. I free-motion quilted the lining and the top fabric together with batting. It is all one long piece. I put a binding all the way around the piece and then sewed the side seams. It is very helpful to have the computer available while you are determining the size. Don't make it too big as it doesn't go in and out of their backpacks as easily. One or two stips of Velcro will hold the flaps down. I put two side pleats in the outside pocket to allow enough space for bulkier cords, etc.
