Trendy Laptop Case


A laptop case is becoming more and more necessary as the affordability of laptop increases. The following project features a stylish laptop case made with great care for a dear friend.

My friend Sabrena Deal, who does beautiful work for S. Carter Studios , realized she needed a laptop case for her many wedding photography trips. She decided on the fashionable materials and buttons and handed me the job of creating this very practical case.


The pattern is compliment of Sew, Mama, Sew. The original pattern calls for an outside fabric, inside fabric (recommended flannel), fleece interfacing for protection, and Velcro for the opening.

My friend selected a beautiful and sophisticated flower print for the outside, a complimentary deep blue flannel for the inside and we decided on batting for the middle for added protection - rather than fleece interfacing.

We also decided on buttons because they do not wear out like Velcro and add a elegant accent.


You see the blue is a beautiful compliment to the reds and browns of the outside pattern.

The finished product produced an perfect fit for a laptop measuring 10" X 14" X 1.75".

I can't wait to create the next one. I truly enjoy special orders and look forward to more like these.
