Create a pattern to fit over the keypad on your laptop. I used the foam padding that came with my laptop for measurement. Pin the pattern on your fabric, centering the company logo. Then cut around the pattern.

Using a fun stitch, sew a pattern border around the edge. This will help keep the fabric pieces together and be a bit more decorative. You can sew a border by hand, or skip the sewing altogether.

Trim the edges of the fabric so they look nice and straight. Then apply a bit of fray-check around the edges on both sides to keep the fabric from fraying.

The cover is now complete. The following step is for adding a leash.
