Practical stitching

I now need a laptop sleeve, as I will be travelling more in my new job. and carrying my laptop with me.  I haven't found anything for sale that I really like, so I used this piece of cloth to make my own.   There are two layers of cotton wadding in this, so the quilting had to be done with a large stitch.

Front, with loops for pens or key fobs.

Back.

Straps, which are webbing embroidered with a favourite thread.
The double zips, to allow it to be fully unzipped at airports, were a challenge, but I'm glad I had a go at these.
More carved marking tape at Morley this week, on top of a ProcionP background, created with a notched foam brush - obviously needs ironing!

    Clever, very clever. I'd never have thought of using a fancy stitch like that on the webbing - I'm impressed that your machine handled it all so well (and that you thought of doing it).
    Love the other carved tape fabric too. It's given me an idea for a t-shirt that I want to fancy up!

    I love this! Perhaps I should commission one! What's the new job? Anything textile related?
