laptop cover

 Quite a while ago, I made my mother a cover for her laptop. Since I'm always carrying my laptop about at the moment, I borrowed it and so I can finally show you. I really love simple designs, made of high quality materials. Unfortunately, I far too rarely act on it because when I'm actually in the shop, my penny pinching self will take over and I tend to opt for the cheaper option. Here I didn't do that as it was a present and I'm really pleased with the results.

The cover is made from a single piece of thick wool felt. I'm normally not a great fan of felt, most of the stuff is awful, but this one here is 100 % wool and it has a really nice texture. When I found it, I threw out all my prejudice about felt in a flash. A wide piece of elastic holds down the flap. 2 pieces of material, three seams: Simple but effective.
