New Laptop Cover for my Honey

My husband got a new laptop.  It's big.  So big that there is no commercial bag or carrying case that is big enough to accommodate it.  So I made him a case the same way that I covered my ipad.

I use super heavy 1/8" thick iron-on interfacing with out-y seams on two sides.


Can you tell he picked the fabric out of my stash?  I laughed when he pointed out what he wanted.  I am pretty sure these are two he picked out as cool at a quilt fabric store somewhere.  He's consistent though.


 On the open end I added the flap and velcro so it wouldn't slide out.

Camera Cozy

Today I made a couple of camera cozies for my son and I.  I used that super heavy double sided iron on interfacing so I got a very stiff product.  I used this interfacing for my reader cozy and I liked it a lot.  It gives quite a bit of heft and I hope protection of the electronic item.  The green one is pretty simple with exposed zigzag stitching.  I'm not sure about the velcro just from the sound factor.  Often I am trying to get my camera out of my purse quietly at some function so maybe a button would have been better,  hmmm..

This red plaid one is more secure because of the zipper but it was a wrestling exercise to get it turned right side out after using that super heavy interfacing I got from Fabricland.  As you can see I topstitched along the zipper after I installed it as it just wouldn't lay flat with the stiffness of the interfacing.  I like this one too though.  We'll see which one my son chooses...

My Purse within My Purse

This is the problem.

I am a bit of a purse-a-holic and I like to change which one I am carrying at a moments notice.  The problem is all the stuff that hangs around at the bottom of my bag.  So here is my solution.
I used that super heavy interfacing that is iron-on on both sides for the centre velcro pocket and added the divided pockets to the outside of the 'bag' so everything is accessible.  I will try is this weekend and see how it goes.

Now I can slip my real wallet and this mini purse from one bag to the other quickly and easily.
