Someone posted a picture in the picture link of a really nice laptop bag they made for their DGD to take to college...really nice :)

made three quillow quilts last year for grand sons.

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.

Last xmas I made mini quilts 18 by 18 with scrap material and in the center embroidered welcome to our home, did it in light material and enclosed a permament pen and told them to have there friends sign the quilt and date it when full hang on a wall great conversation piece, and memories

You are very welcome, as I love to surf to find cool patterns for us. I save them on my blogs.

Love your laptop sleeves.
