Taught by Heidi Parkes
As a self-employed professional quilter, Heidi Parkes spends quite a bit of time traveling with her computer, and you better believe she doesn't have just any old laptop case. In this class, she shares her design for how to create a practical and stylish laptop slipcase using a pre-existing quilt or your own quilted fabric. Discover how to measure your device for a perfect fit, sew it together, and incorporate final touches for both protection and aesthetic appeal. The slipcase features double lining, with quilted material both inside and out for added cushioning. The design is very adaptable, allowing you to create a cozy case for whatever needs protecting. It's worth noting that this project can be completed entirely by hand, without the need for a sewing machine.
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Quilted fabric - about a fat quarters worth for a 16" laptop, either bought or made
  • Quilting ruler and/or flexible measuring tape
  • Air erasable marker or Hera marker
  • Straight pins
  • Scissors and snips
  • Needle - Heidi likes the Dritz milliner's multi-pack
  • Thread - Heidi is using DMC pearl size 8
  • Thimbles - Heidi uses pushing and pulling/gripping thimbles
  • Sewing machine and thread
  • Check out Heidi's favorite supplies

    I enjoyed the impromptu feature of this class. Heidi made it seem so easy. I loved the homely feel of the slipcase. I am looking forward to making several of these for my iPad, tablet and my computer. Thanks again for the inspiration to create my own projects.
