I knew I’d have to do some work on our trip to the beach and I had given my Timbuk2 bag to my husband when he got his new computer. He has made it clear that my Timbuk2 belongs to him now, so I had to come up with something else. I decided to sew my own laptop sleeve and bag. First, I started with the sleeve:
The fabric was an upholstery remnant that was already striped and quilted. I used some bias tape to enclose the raw edges before I sewed on the zipper and I serged the inside seams.
I love fabric that comes with the hard stuff already finished. No patchwork or quilting was needed for this project, but it looks kind of fancy, don’t you think?
stash: The remnant came from the east campus textile sale. Zipper and bias tape from the thrift store.
wow…very elegant
Hey Julie, it looks great! Love the remnant and the bag is *terrific*! I’m already looking forward to next year’s sale! lol

I love the red & white, and the texture in the fabric used. Wonderful work.
Very impressed – I can’t sew for my life!
Thanks for sharing.
