Creating Your Own Laptop Sleeve

By Shannon Hilson


If you are highly fond about your laptop and are always looking out for new accessories and features that you could add up to it, you may consider creating a laptop sleeve for it.

Once a laptop has been purchased, which involves spending a great deal of money in the first place, it becomes necessary to start looking for other features which may prevent any damage from occurring to it, and keep it safe for a long period of time.

Laptop sleeves serve both these functions, as firstly they act like an outer covering and protect the laptop from any little harm that it may encounter on a daily basis. Moreover, if the sleeve is trendy and unique, it will make one's gadget appear all the more pleasant. If you thought you had bought every single additional item that you could, to enhance the look of your laptop, you were surely missing out on one extremely important accessory.

As laptop sleeves can be purchased in one's favorite designs and styles, it makes using laptops much more fun and an overall pleasant experience. If you feel that you have spent more than you should have already, it would be wise to make the sleeve on your own. You could ask your friends for help in creating it, and a fun filled experience will be guaranteed. Moreover, it will act as a symbol of your personality, because it will be your creation.

Firstly, you need to decide what kind of fabric you would want to use for your laptop sleeve. You can choose any one such as cotton, denim, hosiery or leather. Depending on the gender of the laptop owner, you could choose specific materials of fabric or designs. Once you have practiced making sleeves, you could also make one and gift it to a close friend, as creativity and hard work is always appreciated, and the best gifts ever are the ones that are handmade.

Being a girl, you can choose feminine patterns such as polka dots, flowers or butterflies. The colors could also be bright or soft, keeping your taste in mind. In case you are male, leather would be a better option for you, as it would add a masculine touch to your laptop sleeve. You could use other material to decorate it such as beads and sequins.

Before you set out to make your own laptop sleeve, you should be aware of the basic materials that will be required, so that you can plan ahead and get hold of them before hand. Obviously, you will need fabric to make out the sleeve, padding fabric which would act as a cushion in protecting your laptop, threads, beads and other decorative depending on your need, a sewing machine, needle and scissors.

Other things that have to be considered include the specific size of your laptop, so that you can measure the fabric accordingly. Try to make it of the perfect size that is, not too loose or tight fitted. Keep it at least two inches greater in size to that of the laptops.
