Pattern: Detlef-13 (Felted laptop sleeve for 13-inch laptop) Netbook case tutorial. The husband and i recently bought a new acer netbook, with the intention of using it mainly for travel and other occasions where bringing our much bulkier laptops would be cumbersome. naturally, it needed a case, so i made one. it didn't come out exactly perfect (i'll address the errors later), but i am overall happy with the concept. as usual, i started with a few quick graphic sketches and this is the final model i decided to go with: the bag is padded, and has two pockets. the main pocket is for the netbook and the front smaller (and unpadded) pocket is for the adapter/plug. it opens and shuts with a velcro flap, and also has a handle on the side. keeping the users in mind (we're sharing) i chose a blue and white striped heavy cotton fabric. the nice thing about this project is i already had all the materials in my craft stash. the materials (don't forget to measure you own netbook/laptop and adjust the sizes accordingly) outer fabric: sew around the pinned sides.
