New Kid On the Blog

Salve - Hello - Konbawa

I have new stuff to share with everyone!!
First of all is my "just finished" mini laptop case.. it was the second attempt after the diaper. Not very successful either, but at least has a better consistence than the first.
We must keep trying to reach perfection - so I tried again.
This time I didn't skip anything:
1- used ironing lining to make outside cotton harder
2- quilted my own lining using batting material
3- used elastic to close case (unfortunately placed as garnishment)
4- hand sewn biasband before machine sewing ... but still doesn't look perfetct
Well my main problem was the pattern.. I drew it myself using the laptop as shape and I am not sure I made a good job. In fact, I don't think it look symmetric. However this case is ok to do what it was intended to do, and it looks cute as well. I just need to understand how to perfect match the biasband with the corners and how to close the top layer.
