Echino lap top cover

Way before Christmas an school friend of my sister contacted me and asked if I could make here a laptop cover similar to the one I made for my neighbor.

We chatted a bit via e-mail and she gave me her favourite colours. I ordered a few linen/cotton prints and we eventually settled on the turquoise Echino Insect print I ordered a few weeks ago.

This is a cover for a big laptop and I padded the outer and inner fabric to give it enough protection. Normally if I don't have the laptop at hand I make myself an exact carton copy but in this case I happen to have a carton that had by chance the precise measurements.

The inside is a Kaffe Fasset purple/white dot number that compliments the purple of the outer fabric. 

The flap has a long velcro strip to close.

I really love this cover and might just have to make myself a similar one for my i-pad.
This one will be of to Germany in a few days.

Laptop cover

It is only 6 weeks or so until Christmas and I have equally as many if not more commissions to finish; two of which are large quilts. Pressure is creeping up somewhat....

My neighbors asked me to make a lap top cover and two Dr. Seuss table mats. The mats are in progress (i.e. not started yet..) but the lap top cover is and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I bought the coffee house fabric at this etsy store around the time when I was preparing for the craft market. I thought to make some cushions but in the end didn't have enough time.
 

So when my lovely neighbor asked me to make a cover for her laptop this fabric came automatically to mind. I wanted to make something a little bit cool and different.

The lining is a remnant from Alexander Henry's 'Farmdale' collection I had in my stash.
