How To Make A Custom Laptop Bag I have been wanting to share how to draft a custom bag pattern for awhile, but knew it would take just the right project to do it. I think this is it. I made this laptop bag tutorial for Jessica’s Pattern Remix Event with the idea that you could customize it for any size laptop. But really, this concept can be used for anything from an ipod case on up to a laundry bag (kids going to college?). I first learned the technique from Carrie at Gracie Lou’s Quilt Shoppe in Salem, UT. The gray and yellow bag you see there is the very first purse I ever made! I also used the same technique for my hanging fabric baskets. It’s a long one, so I will share it after the jump! First I will show how to make the laptop bag, this will show you the process of assembling the bag, and the basic technique. I am going to show you the basic process for making a bag, and tell you where you can adjust to customize the bag to your needs. Supplies: Fabric Requirements: Fabric Cuts: One 40 x 2¾ piece for the strap.

Get Hired Can we get a counter point article written by job interviewees? This article comes across as slightly arrogant. I've noticed that a lot of interviewers treat me as if they are giving me some amazing life changing opportunity by agreeing to talk to me, even though most of the time they're the ones who approached me. It's incredibly irritating, and a lot of hiring managers forget that the interview is a two way street Just a few off the top of my head: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

DIY Geometric Favor Boxes from HEYLOOK We can barely contain our excitement to share our newest DIY project with you all! The ladies from HEYLOOK sent over these incredible geometric faceted favor boxes (polyhedron), perfect for a display table of their own or for use as place cards at each guest’s seat! Without further ado, here’s how to get started: Instructions: Print this template onto thin cardboard stock or thick paper in the colors of your choice. Cut out along the straight lines, then fold along the dotted lines. Try to assemble the box without gluing it first, so you can see which sides go where. Now you can start to assemble the boxes with paper glue. Cut out small strips of paper and add texts. Now your boxes are ready to be filled with goodies. And you’re done! View step-by-step images in the gallery Download geo boxes template here. Not that we have to tell you…but these free downloads are for personal use only.

Weave Magic Now that title may lead you to believe that this is about hair, but it ain’t got nowt to do with do’s that contain more tracks than a remix. But, in this case are about paper weaves (no we aren’t talking about some new fangled bio hair that is linked to the murder of trees); we mean that old school craft of weaving paper, and weaving it geek style. Apart from the awesome-sauce tutorial deets from Mini-Eco; all you need is some strips of paper, the will to survive, and the design eye of the tiger – if you can master the pain of paper cuts and keep moving forward then you will have been able to create an uber awesome gift topper. A gift topper so awesome, that the bride will not notice that you are re-gifting the present that she got you in 2005. With a gift topper this cool, you will be forgiven almost anything (murder included). Go on, get yourself an edumacation and become a weaver.
