Super Special Laptop Sleeve (**With Updates**)

Step 5 **A Couple of Tips**

• In order to make it easier to line up the transfers, try sewing the sleeve (Step 4) BEFORE ironing on the transfers (Step 3) - this way you can make sure they're properly aligned
• Try not to pin or sew the edges too close to the laptop. Since there will be seams inside when it's turned right sides out, you'll want a little extra space so that the sleeve isn't too tight
• Pin and sew the bottom corners at a slight angle. When the extra fabric is trimmed away, it'll make for really nice looking corners once they're turned out
• I opted to just make these sleeves, since both my mom and I used padded bags to carry our laptops. If you wanted to, you could add a layer of padding and lining
• Pinking shears would be helpful (I didn't have any though) when trimming down the seams, just to make sure that the fabric doesn't fray
• To make a neat seam on the opening, fold the fabric over, and then over once again. This will ensure both sides have a finished edge
• Make sure to use thread close to the color of the fabric for a neater finish
