How To Make a Quilted Laptop Bag

In this episode of the Crafty Gemini Show I show you how to take the proper measurements to make a customized quilted laptop or netbook cover. This is a beginner quilting project but you don't have to be a quilter to make one! Any beginning sewer can whip one of these up.

I also mention another giveaway opportunity! Visit www.craftygemini.com for details.

When and how did you put the straps on? Did I miss it?

@01peggyd I didn't include that part in this video... sorry! I just kinda winged it so I didn't have specific instructions for it.

love the fabric

@kellydowding111 Thank you! Me too! :o)

@BuyAClueDude I have never used 3M adhesive spray so you will have to check the label to see if its safe to use on fabrics. If it's not, I wouldn't force it.... the adhesive can gum up your machine as it sews through it and you may ruin it. Stick to the stuff made for fabric and sewing through it. Hope that helps!

Great tutorial, the adhesive spray, will any spray work, such as 3m adhesive spray, or does it have to be one just for quilting?

@xoCoverGirlxo No problem. :o)
