Final Product: What You Will Create

Preface:

My laptop is 12 ¾” x 8 ¾” and ¾” thickness. Depending on the size of your laptop these measurements may change if your laptop is larger or smaller than mine. Also take into consideration if your laptop is slim or not as it could change the measurements also.

Step 1:

Gather all your materials and read through the instructions before you begin. Have a copy of the color sequence on hand for the embroidery stitch out.

Step 2:

As per preface above, please check your laptop measurements and how they compare to mine incase you need to alter your sizing

Step 3:

Mark up 7” from the bottom of the felt panel and make a mark on each long edge of the panel. Then mark down 7” from the top and mark along the long edges again. This will indicate the top and bottom edges of the laptop.

Step 4:

Along the top edge, mark in and across 4” and draw a diagonal line. Cut the corner off, this will make an envelope type front flap for your case.

Step 5:

Now cut your printed cotton fabric, ensuring it is ½” bigger all the way around the felt panel, this is your turn under allowance. So for me the panel is 16" x 25". Press back ½” all the way around the printed cotton

Step 6:

On the front flap of your felt case, mark the centre to indicate the centre of the embroidery design. Hoop your stabilizer, then float your felt and use a tackdown stitch to hold the felt in place. Stitch out the design.

Step 7:

With your hook and loop tape, centre the loop tape on the right side of the printed cotton panel, along the top edge of the envelope opening. Stitch in place

Step 8:

On the front of the felt panel, measure up 5 ½” and mark. Find the centre, width wide, and position the hook tape. Stitch in place.

Step 9:

Lay the printed cotton, wrong side down onto the wrong side of the felt panel, ensuring the seam allowance is turned under on the cotton and clip in place to hold. Edge stitch all the way around the panels. Your 2 panels are now stitched together.

Step 10:

From the bottom, measure up 7” and mark either side. Fold up the bottom and clip to hold. Stitch in place, stitching over the edge stitch from the previous step. You have now formed a case

Step 11:

Viola! Your laptop case is now complete!
