Lappy Make-over! Laptop Sleeve Out of a Pillowcase
PATCHionista! Chic Cardigan Patches Elbow patches are one of the hottest military-inspired trends today. So if you have a side passion for design, then get your mom’s hand-me-down sweaters and join the vogue of reproducing every old garment anew.
You can now keep your plain black neoprene case and start with a totally cool, custom-made sleeve made from your old pillowcase.
Materials needed: cardigan, fabric, fabric marker/ crayon, 1 sheet of card stock, scissors, pins, embroidery thread, and embroidery needle.

Using the fabric marker, mark an “X” on each sleeve of your cardigan right at the point of your elbow.
Pin a heart on each sleeve of your cardigan and make sure the center of the heart is placed over the “X” you made earlier.

Stitch all the way around the heart with an embroidery thread. Repeat on the other sleeve and your re-styled cardigan is done.

Pick up the corners at the bottom of your old pillowcase and fold it (with the laptop) upwards towards the top of the pillowcase. Pin the areas or mark them in some way so you know where they are, but leave about a half inch more than you need. Then remove the laptop and cut off the excess parts of the pillowcase.

Sew the edges and the top.
Once you’re done sewing, trim any excess fabric on the sides and turn the pillowcase inside out. At this point, you should have a pretty good idea of what the sleeve is going to look like. You can even put your laptop in to test it out.
Cut two hearts from your fabric using the stencil.
