Hi, thank you very much for the guide, it's perfect I wanted to know how to adjust it to the size I want. For example, I have a 15-inch computer - how much to add to each length
What a great Tutorial Rachel! Please let me know how much material is needed for a 💻 Macbook Air ( 13” x 9” x ,1/2” high) because yours is to big, how much more for seams (about 1 1/2”) additional per side? Please help as I love your model is exactly what I want. Thanks for your time, it’s Mónica from La Paz, Bolivia 🇧🇴 South America.
I would just take 1.5" off the dimensions I gave you. It's important to keep it pretty wide so that your laptop can fit easily at the zipper opening. So try these dimensions: Main Fabric: 1 - 10.5"x15", 1 - 8"x15", 1 - 2.5"x15" (maybe make this piece slightly bigger- 2.75"?) Lining Fabric: 2 - 10.5"x 15", 1 - 8.5"x15", 1 - 8"x15" Zippers: 2 - 15" zippers This should result in a finished product of 10" x 14.5"since your seams are only .25". Let me know how it fits. Better yet, send me a picture! Happy sewing!
Hi, Rachel! I love this design! I’d like to adjust the sizing to fit an iPad air, which measures 9.75” tall, 7” wide, and about .75” thick. I’m new to sewing, so do you have any tips on how to change a pattern size to fit individual needs? I’d hate to guess and still have it wrong. Thank you!
Hi, im planning to make a sleeve for my graphics tablet. Can you help me with the fabric dimensions? The tablet is 17.5" x 11" x .5". I should add 2" for the width and 1" for the height? I dont plan to put a pocket to protect the screen
Yes, that sounds about right. Add 2" to the longest dimension and 1" to the shorter one. You will not need the second zipper and just make the plain front and back.

Hi Rache, this is Mónica again, my sister needs me to do a Padded Cover for her Laptop, the measurements are: 15 1/2” width, 10 1/2” depth and 1” height. My question is in the big outer fabric how much more because it’s height is 1”, how much more do I add? The second outer piece is less than the first one by how much? since the third piece in your Tutorial is 3 1/2” x the width. How much more for each. Thanks for your help and I will send you the pictures when I finish. This Lenovo IdeaPad is much bigger and higher than yours. Mónica from Bolivia 🇧🇴 🙀
@@RachelDerstine thank you! I am so excited about this project, it's my first since I was a teenager (I treated myself to a new sewing machine for my 38th birthday today). :)
So glad you enjoyed the video! I’d love to see a picture when you finish it!
Okay got a new laptop for Christmas. Gonna make this bag. I thought I wanted to quilt the bag, but I think the thicker form will be better.
Thanks. Nice, clear instructions. I really like how you adjusted the lining for the foam and how you inserted it.
A great tutorial. Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you for such a thorough tutorial! This will save me so much money! I'm making padded covers for TV screens. They run for $120 on Amazon...
ASMRyouVEGANyet? Wow, I didn’t know there was a need for such a thing. Best wishes on your sewing!
looks super helpful! can't wait to try it.
Have fun!
Love how you corrected the zip!
Rachel, This is beautiful! Do you have directions with pictures in a PDF by any chance? Thank you!
JoAnne McArdle unfortunately, I do not have a pattern for this at this time. I will let you know when I manage to put one out!
@@RachelDerstine thank you, I would appreciate that.
Hi, thank you very much for the guide, it's perfect
I wanted to know how to adjust it to the size I want.
For example, I have a 15-inch computer - how much to add to each length
Just be sure to add extra 2” to width on each side. You can easily trim it down after you finish if it’s too big.
Thank you. I enjoyed the tutorial.

Rachel Derstine, thanks for your prompt reply, I will start my project on Monday and I will send you picture and. Comments, thanks a million. Mónica

Try this:
Outer fabric: 1 - 9" x 12"
1 - 5.75" x 12"
1 - 2.75" x 12"
Lining: 2 - 9" x 12"
1 - 6.25" x 12"
1 - 5.75" x 12"
2 - 12" zippers with long pulls
Bosal In-R-Form - 16.5" x 11.5
Hope that works.
I really like this pattern. What laptop size it will fit?
My Lenovo Yoga C740 14” fits in it with plenty of room. Add 2” to the dimensions of your laptop for a good fit.
Hello, this laptop bag is exactly what I was looking for, the only extra thing I need on it are handles, at what point should they be added on?
So glad you like it! I would add them when you stitch up the side seams. D rings and swivel snap hooks would be nice for the handle.

Great video. Really appreciate the tips and best practices. What foam did you use? I’m not finding
Bosal In-Form - the link is in the info below the video
Thank you
love this
Papillon 2010 thanks so much! Happy sewing!
Great creativity! What brand is the sewing machine you use and what is the price range?
My machine is a Bernina 550 QE. I think it was around $5000.
Thank you for this video. I also would like to know where did you get your table from? i love it.

Monica Veintemillas that is big! Try 13”x 18”, 10.5”x18”, & 4.5”x 18”
Maybe even more! You can always cut it down to size
I have a 15" x 10.1" x 1.59" laptop it is a thicker laptop. For my measurements for the fabric should I add 2 inches ?
Unknown User Try 3” more just to be safe then you can always trim it down.
I have the same size laptop. Would that be 3" more on all sides of all pieces?
Erin Maloney yes on the width. Maybe just 2” more on the zipper side
@@RachelDerstine thank you! I am so excited about this project, it's my first since I was a teenager (I treated myself to a new sewing machine for my 38th birthday today). :)
Erin Maloney Awesome! Good luck & send me a picture!
