I designed and made a laptop tote bag for my daughter for high school graduation to hold her new Macbook laptop. I ordered a stack of 100% wool felt squares in autumn colors, washed them to shrink them, cut them into strips and sewed away. I even made a hanging cell phone case. The strap and lining were made from leftover corduroy I used cotton quilt batting between the layers for cushion support. If you are planning to attempt this, just know that it is difficult to cut 100% wool felt evenly, as it is squishy and moves around easily.
The project was time consuming, but well worth the effort! She’ll be the only student on her college campus with a bag like this!
