Laptop Sleeve

After the mini-wardrobe & formal wear contests, I've lost my way a bit. I have nothing to sew and no plans. So this is just what I needed to kick-start my mojo again. It's a laptop sleeve from Nicole Mallalieu's Laptop bag pattern. She doesn't actually give you the pattern but rather instructions on how to draft it to your laptop's size.

All the edges are bound with bias. I bought an 18mm Clover bias maker and wow! I've never made bias with one of these before but I'm in love with it! It was just so easy to make (once I'd cut the strips the right size that is LOL).

Next up will be Nicole's make up bag in the same fabric. It's all ready to go. Oh & I've just drafted my knock-off of this top.
