Here are over two dozen sewing, knit & felting tutorials for laptop sleeves and cases (there’s a couple for crochet too). These are my favorite picks of what I found available online for freebies. Enjoy!
Tote: Sew a soft-sided case with carrying strap, zipped closure and pockets to store accessories.
Faux-Leather & Felt: This is lined with felt and edges finished with a blanket stitch in a contrasting color.
Repurposed Jeans: Make this by repurposing denim from an old pair of jeans and line with a pretty fabric.
Easy Crochet: Pretty much made in sc and super easy to make, will also work for an iPod/iTouch/mobile or other gadget.
Made With A Placemat: Lovely padded project with a back pocket to hold gadgets.
Canvas: Made from artist’s canvas and lined with quilted lining (you can paint & decorate it once it’s made!).
Aran: Gorgeous cabled knit with a tip to line it with felt for extra stability.
Crocheted: Nice and thick worked with 3 strands of yarn, button flap closure.
Felted Sweater: An old wool sweater is used to make this, zipped closure.
Zipped Cover: Has a full zipped closure along the side.
Pear: (Knitting). Finished size measures 14″ wide by 12 1/2″ tall after felting.
With Flannel: Easy project showing how to make a custom-fit piece using fabric, flannel (for lining) and a snap.
With Pocket: Features a pocket to hold cords, foldover flap closure with velcro tabs and a cotton webbing handle along the side.
Felted: Mac apple design (cute!) and knitted in the round, double-stranded. It has a zipper around three sides so you can open it right up.
Oversized Clutch: Try faux leather, vinyl, upholstery fabric with a soft felt-type material for the inner liner.
Also check out the goodies for iPads & Kindles, many are easy enough to adjust for laptops.
I love these. I have been thinking of making inexpensive laptop sleeves for sale. Its such a shame we keep relying on over-priced imported laptop sleeves and bags when we can produce them here in Nigeria..
This is just so great. Thinking to sew it on my own now. 😀
