laptop cozy

It was my sister's birthday on January 15. She asked me for a laptop sleeve. She carries her laptop in a large bag, but wanted something to slip over it so that it wouldn't get banged up. So I made her a laptop cozy. I call it my "mullet" cozy, because, it's business on the outside...

party on the inside...


I thought it was the perfect gift since my sister loves monkeys, but has to be professional at work. I made some mistakes and there were tears involved while making it, but that's the life of a beginner sewer. It would probably help if I would break-down and use patterns for my projects. Or even read technique books. But no, I have to do it by myself.

By the way, if you have a mullet (or know someone who does), don't leave a nasty comment here! I'm not judging any one's hairstyle choices.

Simply adorable!!
And yes, you should sell them in your shop.

I know what you mean about the novice sewing tears. I still shed a few....

You're so brave, I'm a glueer, not a sewer. I bet your sister loved it!

It is soooo pretty, fun and useful! Yes, make some for your shop! Imagine going to a boring business meeting / getting up super early when you're half dead and seeing the GREEN PRETTY LAPTOP BAG WITH MONKEYS INSIDE AND LACE!!! That would make any day better, I think.
