new day, new laptop sleeve

today, i start my new job working with a local designer of custom made shoes...  i will need to bring my laptop with me, so i made a new sleeve...  i used this tutorial & pattern from sew mama sew.  it was very easy to make, only took a couple of hours.  i really like how it turned out.  i especially like the fabric designed by tim coffey.





thanks for coming by & reading! hope you have a productive tuesday! :)
