Every once in a while I get a crazy idea~ crazy in that I have no iea what I am doing, but I know what I want to make.
I envisioned a sleeve for my new laptop made of felt~ cushy, protective, natural, breathable...
I am *not* a wet felter, but this was a great chance to try again.
So I did!
I wet felted panels of 'fabric', cut them to fit and sewed them up by hand.
This is the front panel before finishing:
I am almost done~ having done some needlefelted details and a recycled sweater back. I will put up some pics as soon as I get the button sewn on!
I think, with a lining, these would make awesome shoulder bags, so I am working with a bag maker to collaborate!

I love it! It is cool!!!
I am amazed at the creativity! This is awesome.
Wow, the colors are awesome! I really like it!
It looks great! I love the colors and it's so unique. I haven't tried felting yet (being a metalhead), but it's on my list of things to try.
