Just finished this computer tote bag with a sleeve for the laptop for Grand Daughter as she is preparing to head off to college. She loved it.

Cute bags with houndstooth trim. Maybe she needs a black and white giant size houndstooth pattern quilt to go with it.:)

I made her this Quilt from her softball shirts. The sashing and the corner squares are the same as used on the bag

​Great quilt! She must have loved all her old uniform shirts used for her quilt.

The bag is the Laptop Messenger bag from the book SEW SERENDIPITY BAGS by Kay Whitt.
The T-shirt quilt is my first. I read a lot of info here and on internet, then I just winged it. They brought her to tears.

I love this combo! Thanks for listing the source. I found (and just bought) a cheap copy of the book. In the meantime, can you tell me what type of padding (regular batting or something else), if any, you used for the sleeve? Thanks.

The neatest quilt yet. You did beautiful work also.

Soryy that I did not reply sooner. I used Peltex for the sleeve and in the bag. I also found that I needed to increase the size a tad so that 15 inch laptop would fit with the wireless mouse thingy pluged in. If you do not want to use peltex, you could use a fusible fleece. The patterncalls for a lot of velcro. I would not use as much next time.

Thank you.. It was fun to make, once I got over the fear of messing up on cutting the shirts up. I did learn that one must put interfacing on prioe to cutting. If not, the squares tend to draw up some.
