Laptop Case

I just finished making myself a laptop case. All the laptop cases that they sell in stores for my size of laptop are boring and ugly. I just couldn't find one I liked, so I made myself one. I wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. I used a cute flower fabric for the outside, a heavier blue for the inside and two layers of fusible fleece for the padding. I also decided to embroider an owl, from an set of owl embroidery patterns that my mom has, and applique it on the front. My laptop fits nice and snug inside its new home!
I also made myself a matching pouch for my power cord. These pouches are really fun for me to make. they take almost no time at all to whip up. I'm gonna try to make a new batch of them tomorrow to sell. I only have one in my etsy shop now because one of them sold last week. I only hope that I will have time to sew tomorrow, seeing as it is my last day in Washington before I leave for Minnesota and college in the fall (yikes!) I am very happy with my little creations and slightly surprised that I got it all done today.
