I choose to constructit like a tote bag with longer straps to be able to wear it likea crossbody bag, which leaves your hands free (that's always a bonus feature, when you need to carry around children and your laptop, without losing neither!). Materials: TIP: An easy way to cut long strips is to fold in four your fabric, then cut the layers all in once, using a rotary cutter and mat. To make them stronger (and make your laptop safer!), join diagonally your strips, just as if you were creating a bias tape (but without the bias part).

Let's topstitch the portion of the straps which is going to stay free, across your body: sewon both edges with a contrasting thread, until you reach the 40 cm (16″) chalk mark. Why do I suggest you to add underlininginstead of lining? Because it's faster and gives your bag more stability and strength. I always love a good sewing project, well finished inside as well as outside but, let's face it: no one will ever notice ifyour side seams are finished,inside your laptop bag! NOTE: let's pretend for a minute I didn't focus on the iron, instead of on the fabric, in left photo… If you are thinking to crochet a gift for your techie friend, then no other accessory can beat this case! Just head on to this MissCraftNerd tutorial for creating this craft. 4. White Laptop SleeveLet's start with a fact: this year I must have been a Good Girl, because Santa decided I deserved a new laptop 😉It is bigger than the old one (which, by the way, was perfect for cooking eggs above the keyboard, since it was getting hotter every single time I turned it on), so now I have an old laptop bag that is too short for it. Optional: add another row of stitches halfway between the other three you've already done, like I did. The motif of this laptop sleeve is worked in rows and uses basic stitching techniques including chain, single crochet, and slip stitches. 10. Rainbow Bobble Laptop Sleeve

This pattern is suitable for a 15″ Macbook. The size can be easily adjusted by shortening or lengthening the initial chain and number of rows. Crochet Laptop Bag MaterialsIf you're using your own measurements, just center it, leaving the same width on each side! Put some pins all around, to keep layers together (it will be easierto sew, later, if you put them on the right side of the main fabric), then go to the sewing machine and start having fun! Make sure they're the same length and try on your bag: it's supposed to be a crossbody bag which will leave your hands free while you safely carry your laptop around. D Other option is serging the edge (like I did). Optional (but warmly suggested, if you care your laptop!): reinforce the seam making a second row of stitching right next to it. Finish the upper edge Sew starting from the fold each side seam and finish seam allowances with a zig zag or adding a bias binding.
