Rest easy as you're on-the-move with your laptop and mp3 player nestled safely away in their cover and case. With customized instructions you can make a sturdy cover to fit most size laptops. The large and small mp3 cases are compatible with the iPod Classic®, iPod Touch®, iPhone® and the Zune®.
Materials List for the Laptop Cover
Allow extra yardage for matching or centering a design on your fabric.
NOTE: First measure your laptop's width, length and height. If your laptop is larger than the finished size, you will need to add 1/8 yard to each of the fabrics and interfacings for every 1″ to 1 1/2″ added to the finished size length. (There is plenty of fabric for the width.)
- 1 1/8 yard of 44″ wide light to mid-weight fabric for the Exterior
- 1 1/8 yard of 44″ wide light to mid-weight fabric for the Lining
- 3/4 yard of 22″ wide single-sided fusible Peltex® by Pellon® or other similar extra heavy stabilizer
- 3/8 yard of 44″ wide fusible fleece (we use fusible Thermolam Plus by Pellon®)
