Tah-dah!
It's done. Worked my fingers to the nubs with hand-stitching the binding on, but doesn't it look spiffy. I like the zesty colors. And I love me coffee. Mmmmm, boy.
I have a messenger bag that I carry my laptop in when I travel out of the house. But it has no padding at all. So, it was time to make a case to put the laptop into, and then use the messenger bag.
I doubled-up on the batting to make it softer, and used leftovers from an earlier quilt for the interior of the bag. I also had some binding leftover from another project that matched these fabrics just right (I KNEW I was hanging onto that for a reason. Saved me time making some new up. Go me!!).
I'm happy with it. The colors certainly make me smile.
I want one!! I love it! Way to go Wendy, good job :)

I like the artsy melding of variety.
ReplyDeletesee now you are starting to save stuff like your mom. better add a room on now.
ReplyDeleteI didn't use a pattern. I read several books from the "Pretty Little..." series, the "Pretty Little Cozie" one in particular. This was several months back, however.
ReplyDeleteI started out by making the front quilt piece, matching it to the size of my laptop. Once that was done, I cut out batting and a backing (for the inside) and quilted it together. Then, I sewed the two sides together to make the pouch, last, added the binding by machine sewing one side on, then hand sewing the inside. WHEW!! But I should get years of use from it.
