…laptop sleeve made of Fairy Tiptoes fabric!
I knew I had a reason for buying three meters of the fabric. At the time I bought it, I was unabashedly hoarding. The fabric is just too pretty and it was a sin not to stock up. Armageddon might happen and I need pretty fabrics to get me through it.
It turns out that the fabric is perfect for a little laptop sleeve as well. I’ve been wondering what foam to use for a laptop sleeve for so long now. We don’t have batting here because people in my country never use quilts. Using quilts in a tropical country is just plain crazy. Thankfully, my laptop came with a free sleeve cover. It was just a black thing in neoprene foam. It was too boring. So I used the foam as batting and made me a fairy tiptoes laptop sleeve.
free black sleeve as interfacing
white magic tape for closure
FRONT. I love those birds.
BACK. love the bugs and the fairy, too.
snug fit
just perfect
Hmmm what else can I make using this fabric? The possibilities are endless! I might start with a protective gear fit for an Armageddon.

OMG where did you find that fabric. I’m going to have to get some. I love the sleeve. You should do a tutorial on that!

It’s Fairy Tiptoes by Tina Givens. It’s oh so lovely.
The sleeve is pretty simple, actually. If I find some foam here, I’d make a tutorial, for sure. :)

I got so many pending orders of laptop bags and I still have not found neoprene here. Haha. Will scour Colon one of these days, for sure.

Yam, any luck on the neoprene yet? I would KILL for a sleeve this fabulous for Octavian. ;-)

I have found neoprene but it’s the thick kind. The kind my sewing machine can’t handle. I’m experimenting with felt and another type of foam. Will keep you posted. :D

Super cute! :) Just found this now because I was looking for laptop sleeve tutorials. I suddenly had this brilliant idea of making my own sleeve. It’s actually a sleeve that will fit both my iPad and my hoity toity Starbucks planner so they won’t get scratched and what not inside my giant tote bag. ANYWAY, long explanations haha. Super cute sleeve. :)
