Tutorial: Laptop Sleeve 'Red Maloo' Style


What you'll need:
Exterior fabric (it's a great way to use medium fabric like canvas or upholstery, but pretty cottons work well too).
Interlining (fusible fleece works fine, you can double it up for more padding. Or you can use an old towel).
Interior fabric (flannel or cotton would work well)
Optional decorations like rhinestones or appliques.

The how to:
Measure the length (L), width (W), and height (H) of your laptop. My sister's netbook has different heights on the front and back and it has supporting legs too. Note both heights and make sure you include the legs.

Cut your exterior, interlining, and interior fabrics according to the diagram below, with 1/2" seam allowance.

Attach the interlining fabric to the wrong side of the interior fabric. If using fusible fleece, simply follow the instruction that came with it (usually steam ironing). If using something else, baste circumference with 1/4" seam allowance. If desired, you can top stitch the whole fabric like a quilt.

Stitch the exterior and interior fabric right sides together with 1/2" seam allowance, leaving the non-rounded side open. 


Cut the four corners of the centre rectangle close to the stitches. Be careful not to cut the thread. 

Cut the corners of the rounded edges.


Flip the fabric so the right sides are out.
Press.
Close the straight edge with top stitch 1/4" from the edge.
Top stitch the rest of circumference 1/4" from the edge.





Attach velcro as pictured. This step can also be done before the exterior and interior fabrics are sewn together, but I prefer doing it last for more strength.
Attach optional decorations with fabric glue.




      Enjoy!

      Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

      Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!šŸ˜Š Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

      Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

      On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...

      Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

      At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...
