✨ Quilted Fabric Sleeves in Magical Unicorn Print ✨
I’ve been having such fun in my sewing room lately! Using this adorable **pink unicorn print Cotton**, I created a matching set of **quilted fabric sleeves** — perfect for keeping your tablet, notebook, or sewing supplies safe and cozy.
Each piece is softly padded and quilted for durability, with a dreamy design featuring galloping unicorns and little clouds. The fabric itself just makes me smile — it’s whimsical, bright, and cheerful, adding a bit of magic to any day.
🧵 **Sewing details:**
* Outer fabric: Pink flannel with unicorn and cloud print
* Lining: Coordinating pastel cotton
* Batting: Lightweight quilt batting for structure
* Quilting: Simple straight-line stitching for a clean, classic look

Perfect! 🌸 The photos you shared are wonderful for a blog post tutorial or showcase on making fabric laptop and tablet sleeves. Since your readers enjoy cozy, handmade sewing content, I can help you draft a blog post in your “Sewing and Quilting” style. Here’s a suggested outline and cozy write-up you could use (you can tweak it to your voice):
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.
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
Measure your device – laptop or tablet – then add about 1 inch on each side for seam allowance and padding.
Cut your pieces – outer fabric, lining, and batting.
Quilt the outer fabric and batting together for sturdiness.
Sew the bag panels right sides together, leaving the top open.
Add the lining – stitch around and turn inside out.
Finish the top edge neatly by folding over and topstitching.
And just like that, you’ve got a custom, quilted laptop or tablet bag! 🎉
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!)
I spent an evening at my sewing machine turning colorful scraps into a cheerful patchwork tote. Using my Singer machine and a mix of floral, gingham, and solid cottons, I pieced small squares into a bright front panel, quilted the layers, and added sturdy white webbing straps. The result is a practical, handmade bag full of personality—perfect for errands, craft supplies, or gifting to someone who appreciates upcycled, lovingly sewn items.
Want a short how-to or pattern details to include in the post (measurements, step-by-step, or printable pattern)?

Certainly! Here's a sample blog post about these handmade bags using the Simplicity 5535 pattern "B":
I recently finished sewing these beautiful tote bags inspired by the Simplicity 5535 pattern, version "B." I wanted to share the process and the final results because I’m really happy with how they turned out!
I opted for a striking combination of colorful gradient fabrics, mixing soft pinks, purples, and blues to give the bags a vibrant yet harmonious look. The contrast between the solid deep purple and the multi-hued gradient fabric really adds visual interest.
This pattern is fantastic for creating versatile tote bags with large exterior pockets. The "B" variation offers a practical and stylish design, perfect for everyday use. The bag has both a roomy main compartment and a handy front pocket — great for organizing essentials.
Making these bags was a rewarding experience. The Simplicity 5535 "B" pattern is beginner-friendly yet produces professional-looking results. Whether for personal use or gifting, these tote bags are an excellent sewing project.
If you're thinking of trying your hand at making your own tote, I highly recommend this pattern and using vibrant fabrics to make your creations pop!
Would you like me to help you with tips on how to sew these bags or a more detailed sewing tutorial?
