Sewing And Quilting A Laptop Bag

Cut four pieces of fabric at 14 1/2 inches by 10 inches.

Take two pieces of fabric and iron on fusible fleece of the same size.   Quilt accordingly.  

Stitch around the circumference of the two pieces with right sides together.  Leaving the top open for now by not stitching. 

Take the other two pieces and stitch also around the circumference of the two pieces with right sides together.  Leaving the top open as well, but at the bottom leave a gap for pulling through the bag inside out.  

Take both and serge all seams, but remember the gap to leave open. 

Press, and trim the corners for points.

With right sides together take the actual bag that is quilted and the lining by inserting the lining in the bag at the right sides matching seams and stitch and serge. 

Now take and pull through that gap to bring the bag out.   Point corners accordingly.   Press and form bags by matching the seams.   Take lining and close the gap and insert into the bag.  Top stitch.  Press.

Optional:  Add Velcro or Snaps or even a zipper.

Sewing & Quilting: Handmade Laptop & Tablet Bags

There’s something extra special about creating your own fabric accessories – not only do they protect your devices, but they also let you carry a little piece of handmade cheer wherever you go. ✂️💜

Recently, I stitched up these padded laptop and tablet bags using a bright and fun Easter egg print fabric. The cheerful design makes them perfect for springtime, and the quilted padding keeps the devices safe and snug.

What You’ll Need

• Cotton fabric (your choice of print – seasonal, floral, or even plain for a classic look)

• Batting or fusible fleece for padding

• Lining fabric

• Sewing machine, thread, scissors, and pins

• Measuring tape

Step-by-Step

1. Measure your device – laptop or tablet – then add about 1 inch on each side for seam allowance and padding.

2. Cut your pieces – outer fabric, lining, and batting.

3. Quilt the outer fabric and batting together for sturdiness.

4. Sew the bag panels right sides together, leaving the top open.

5. Add the lining – stitch around and turn inside out.

6. Finish the top edge neatly by folding over and topstitching.

And just like that, you’ve got a custom, quilted laptop or tablet bag! 🎉

Variations

• Add a button or Velcro closure for extra security.

• Sew in a pocket for cords or pens.

• Choose different fabrics for the seasons (florals for summer, cozy plaids for winter).

Here are the two I made – one for a tablet, one for a laptop:

(Insert your photos here – the two standing in front of the sewing machine look especially nice!)
