Jade and Cream Floral Tapestry Laptop Notebook Bag

Something I've been wanting to try making ever since I got a laptop of my own is a laptop bag or sleeve. This is the result....after making a simple, more basic version/prototype. It has an exterior zippered pocket that accomodates the power cords; it's lined - with an interior pocket. It sports a vintage button and loop closure, and over the shoulder carrying straps of cotton webbing.
  


Jade and Cream Tapestry Laptop Bag



Fits my Compaq Notebook and Power Cords
Matching Zipper Pouch and Credit Card Purse
Zipper Pouch fits into Interior Laptop Bag Pocket. Purse fits into the Pouch
Like Russian dolls one thing fits into the other. I am actually quite pleased with the result of my venture into laptop bag making! I hope the set will find a great owner in the very near future. Available in the laptop section of  EclecticArmadillo.etsy.com . Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post, and if you know of someone who is looking for a beautiful laptop/notebook bag please consider recommending this bag! Thank you!
