I've had my laptop for a couple of years now and for some reason only recently thought to make a cover for it. I try to put it away in a cupboard when I'm not using it but it often lives under my coffee table. Given I have a poo-load of fabric lingering around the joint I decided to use this vintage 70's floral print. Yellow isn't really my shade but it looks quite good in an accessory.
My first design I tried was an envelope. Unfortunately it didn't sit very well I think because I put wadding in the lining. I just thought some padding was a good idea.
Here I re-jigged the design and put straps with button holes and some covered buttons in the same fabric. I also couldn't find any plain white material for the lining. I have white material somewhere, but alas I couldn't locate it. I had a white pillow case that had gone a bit off colour so I decided to use that instead. It was just the right width.
Far from perfect, but it should do the job.
