Keep Your Laptop Cozy

Found the cutest project at Design*Sponge , to protect your laptop instead of a new $50.00 travel case. I already have a large tote I cart everything to work in and making a cozy makes more sense to me instead of carrying two bags.

Of course I can see how to get my GOGO glue gun involved to save time making it. Glue the two pieces together ---corners and edges and skip the stitch -witchery. I also found their color choice rather yucky, but to each his own. And you better gogo glue gun the velcro dots in place because the light weight glue that comes on them wears out after a bit of tugging and pulling.

Also instead of felt, which will only take so much "wear and tear" I would suggest using the flannel back vinyl that is used to make tablecloths OR use the thick vinyl alone (one layer) that is found in the upholstry area.

Or if you have an old tablecloth your tired of using or maybe one that has a stain or a candle wax spot that you can't get out but your mother made it and you can't bear to throw it out . Or maybe you've finally found a use for that hidious flowered flannel raincoat your Aunt Ruby gave you for Christmas that you know you will NEVER wear..........................YES!!!!!!!

I suddenly am in support of Aunt Rubys' right to not join the computer generation and learn all that "new-fangled high techso stuff" as she calls it! I must learn to respect my elders..........
