A few weeks ago while I was in the midst of packing, I felt the urge to use up some fabric and make Layla some new dresses. These urges seem to happen when I should be doing something responsible. Ha! It was perfectly justified though, because Layla is seriously lacking dresses and I didn’t want...
One thing I love about Layla is that we just get each other. She is my mini-me which is awesome, but I’ll admit it can be frustrating at times. We both love doing crafty things, and she naturally assumes any image with some sort of pattern is fabric. It’s pretty common for me to be...

is there a way to get this pattern in a format without all the extra stuff, it’s alot of pages. thanks
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I had just bought an I Pad Pro and was leaving for a conference. I was able to use fabric from my stash. For the main fabric I actually had enough scrap from a piano border made of batiks that was left over from a quilt. I think it came out really cute and was perfect for traveling! I even made a little zip pouch for the charging cord to match
Hi, Meredith. Thanks for sharing this tutorial! This is such a cool laptop bag and I’m going to try to make it this weekend but I have one question: why did you cut three pieces of the main fabric? Why didn’t you cut one long piece and one shorter piece, as you did with the lining fabric? Is it just because of the foam flex?
Great question! I did that because I was working with a directional print and I didn’t want it to be upside down on either side. If you are using a print that has no clear direction you could cut it like you do the lining. I think you will love your case! I have used that very same one everyday since I made it years ago.
I can’t figure out what to do with the G foot to sew down the binding. Can you explain this? Bear in mind that the main piece of fabric is very thick with the foam and cannot be folded over. Thank you.
