Materials

Leftover quilting scraps.

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired to create this project by the tiny scratches and dings on my new laptop!

I looked through my fabric stash and found a piece of patchwork that I'd used to practice machine quilting. It turned out to be the perfect size to make a little sleeping bag for my computer.

What are you most proud of?

I'm proud of the speed with which this came together. Literally 2 hours from conception to completion.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Just wing it! The only measuring I did was to lay my computer on top of the scrap of patchwork to see if it fit.

Good Job! I have a friend that just got a laptop and she is in love with frogs. I found the perfect whimisical frog fabric. Thanks for the great idea. I have some insulbright padding that used for a lunch bag that might give some extra paddingto the laptop. Keep the ideas coming.
