11 traveling handmade.

9.26.2011

The Sewing Summit is coming up quick, only 10 more days until I leave for Salt Lake City!  While there is no way that I'll have time to make anything as cool as these amazing duffel bags, I did want to bring something with me that I made for myself.

I've been in need of a laptop sleeve for a long time (actually, I have never owned one for some reason!), so I finally stitched one up yesterday using this pattern.  I made it out of some of the AMH velveteen that I've been saving for something special, and lined it with a pretty yellow print from Joel Dewberry Modern Meadow.

It's hard to photograph the texture of the velveteen, but it feels so soft and luxurious!  I think my laptop is pretty happy with it's new case, even if it is a little too loose.
I also finally finished the iPad case that I started working on in April!  I've been using it in it's half finished state for months, but finally added a proper lining and buttons to close the flap this weekend.


I'm glad I'll have these pretty cases to travel with me to the Sewing Summit!

    Ooh, they are both lovely! I haven't seen that velveteen in person yet. The lining choice looks so great with the Crush print. Lovely! And the lace on your iPad case is so delicate. Pretty, pretty! A laptop case is on my list, still!

    I don't have a laptop sleeve either, and this was one of those things I've considered making. 10 days should be enough time, if I wanted... Hm.

    I would have never thought to use velveteen for something like that, but it looks gorgeous. We have some of that exact print in the shop I work in, now I might have to make a bag out if it.

    Don't give me any more ideas. I'm still trying to decide if I'm bringing the laptop AND the ipad. Beautiful work!
