Slim Laptop Sleeve - £6+VAT
Have you noticed how thin and light newer laptops are? And that there is no standard size. This bag is ideal for anyone who has a slim laptop, but who doesn’t want to use a big, office-style laptop case. Maybe you have a favourite tote, and want to carry your laptop inside without it getting scratched, or a fabulous handbag to carry everything but your laptop? This bag is perfect.
This pattern is supported by a full tutorial video, free to watch on YouTube. You can watch it here.
Included is a foam preparation guide, which also has a video. You can watch it here.
