Well, I took advantage of the President's Day sale at Joanne Fabrics today and bought the last of the supplies I needed to make the tote bag for my laptop. This will be a challenge. At first glance, the directions could be a little clearer, but I will know more once I get going on it. Another thing that will be different is the 1/2" foam pieces that will be placed between the lining and the main fabric. The foam is there to help protect the laptop. The directions say to use spray adhesive to hold the foam in place while sewing and it also says I may want to use clothepins to hold the layers together instead of pins. Hmmmmmmm I'm not sure when I will start this bag, but I hope to soon. I have been working away at the Monster. I keep thinking that some day it will be out of the living room - it will some day!

I am catching up slow but sure! Thank you for the award!! So sweet. I will need to think on who to pass it to. I loved seeing the monster again and let me tell you...the quilting on your Potted Posies is Awesome!!!!
I think that the bag is going to be great! I want to see it when it is complete! Look out Vera Bradley, Mar is on the loose
What pretty choices for your bag. Sounds like I need to go to Joann's!!
Hi...this is my first go-around the blogring and I am excited to see your laptop bag project. I would love to make one of those and will be anxious to see how yours turns out. Good luck!
Your fabrics are lovely . . . you'll have the best dressed laptop in town *s*
Ah, I miss "President's Day sale" commercial
!!!! *LOL* Haven't heard for a while....
Your fabrics is very beautiful. Can't wait to see your laptop carrier.
I'm looking forward to hearing how the spray adhesive and clothes pins work out. I finished the sewing machine cover last night, it called for fusible fleece between the outer fabric and the linning. With so many scraps of batting around I used it instead and it came out fine. Sometimes you can punt!
