Peeking inside the lappy cozy

I made a laptop cozy yesterday. I figured that if I’m to bring my computer to school with me (which was the purpose of having one in the first place) then I’ll need to be able to transport it safely. That doesn’t mean the cozy has to be boring, oh no indeed.

Here we have red bandana-style, orange, and orange ladybug print fabrics. Exciting! The red print is a bit canvas-like, and twill, so it’s got some ruggedness, too. I used 3/4 inch foam to keep the lappy safe, though I trimmed it a bit short, so the top of the lappy kind of sticks out a bit from it’s foam protective envelope. There is a big flap that folds over, so it’s not totally unprotected.

This is another example of a crafty project that I sort of planned while I was making it. I didn’t even change the thread in the sewing machine. I couldn’t find my red, so I used the yellow that was already in there. I’ll call it “accent stitching.” It didn’t take me long to make… maybe 30 mintues? Something like that.
