Isn’t this lovely? It’s not very modest for me to say that, of course, but I just love a good bit of piping and top-stitching. And the fabric is fantastic, and that’s nothing to do with me.

I’m very pleased with the way the pattern lines up on the flap and the body; I don’t often take the time to do things like that, but it certainly makes a difference, doesn’t it? But what is this thing? What’s it for? My new laptop!

Hooray! I’ve had a few different laptops over the years, but never a new one, as it’s never been my primary computer. So I’m very excited indeed to have this to play with now.
There’s suddenly a lot of Apple in my life, where there once was none. I have issues with Apple products that go beyond being a lifelong PC user, so it’s a change that’s somewhat uncomfortable. Last week, my mom received an Ipod shuffle and didn’t know what to do with it, so she was willing to trade it for a small amount of manual labour on my part (painting). And now the laptop. How excellent!
And the perfect excuse for crafting, of course.


You and I have the same laptop!! Once you get used to not having the left-clicky button, I hope you love it as much as I love mine.
And I like the sleeve very much.
Love the laptop sleeve. How long did that take you?
I think it IS lovely! Dont worry about modesty
I love it I might have to make one for mine.

Oh yes! Very very lovely! And I’m in love with the piping.
I’m in love with that fabric! It looks like the country homes in Sweden and Norway!
That is so gorgeous! I really love the fabric too, it’s lovely, and am so impressed you got it to match up like that – perfect!

OOOOO. More sewing inspiration! Just a little more time before I’m in the same nation as my sewing machine…. We might need to gather for another craft night so you can give me some tips.
So lovely! I *love* when everything lines up perfectly.
Modest schmodest, that laptop sleeve is beautiful.
Beautiful! Did you use any sort of stabilizer or batting?

Ooooooh! How about a tutorial for the gorgeous laptop case? I have just bought a MacBook Pro and think that all the bags available in the shop are horrid – I want yours!
