Product Information

Take the shape you have cut for the outer sleeve and lay over the folded piece of outer fabric and cut the same angles. This will form the closing flap of the laptop case. STEP 4: Stitch the base of the laptop sleeve Fold so the right sides face out and pin the base turning in the raw edges of the gap you have left, so it is smooth, then press with an iron on the base only. Now unfold the fabrics and machine stitch each Velcro piece in the spot marked to the SINGLE layer of fabric. So ladies, let me know, do you want me to make you life easier and make you a laptop sleeve pattern calculator to do the math for you? Let me know in the comments below

Fold the fabrics along the base seam, so that the right sides face out. Fold up the base to meet with the two marks you have made on the lining. These lovely DIY laptop sleeves come with an easy Velcro fastening and a classy shaped envelope-style flap. The outer cover of the sleeve is made from home décor fabric, with a felt lining to cushion the laptop, and no need for interfacing. The best thing is that you can use the diy laptop bag as a clutch – 2in1 – a win-win!Now bend over the flap and see where the Velcro you stitched on the flap meets up with the front of the bag. Mark the spot where the Velcro from the flap touches the front.Pin it to the outer fabric only.

Take the piece of the lining fabric as seen below and fold in half along the length, folding over the corner to meet the other corner of the flap. Take a ruler and measure 2″ (5cm) on either side of the corner, connect the dots with a diagonal line, and cut along the line. The choice of whether to glue a piece of leather or a finishing metal decorative piece on the front of the flap is entirely up to you.

Reach in between the double fold at the base of the laptop bag and start pulling the fabric through so the right sides are showing. STEP 10: Press the diy laptop case

Now to calculate the length of the fabric I’ll take the depth of the laptop which is 9” + height 0.4” which adds up to 9.4 inches, but this needs to folded over and include the envelope style flap so I multiply by 2.5 and add the 2” seam allowance bringing the calculation to 9.4” x 2.5 = 23. 5” + 2” = 25. 5”. The first thing to do is to measure the laptop for which you want to create a diy laptop sleeve. To do this measure the length of the laptop as it sits on the desk facing you. You’ll need the width (A), depth (B) and height (C) as shown on the image below. Trim the corners at a 45-degree angle at the base of the sides, so there is no excess fabric when it is turned, and across the corners of the flap.

Let’s do the math. So, for example I’m making this for my mom’s Apple Mac Air that measures 13 inches (width) x 9 inches (depth) x 0.4 inches (high).

Because it is difficult to measure 0.4 of an inch I’m going to round the height up to half an inch so 13 + 0.5” + 2” = 15.5”.With right side to right side of lining and outer, pin together and stitch across the base only leaving an opening in the middle of around 3 inches (10cm). The diy laptop bag now is the right way out and you just have to ensure all the sides are lying flat, and press the finished sleeve. STEP 12: Stitch the gap
