Blue Fish Laptop Sleeve

  

This was one of those days when everything I lay my hand to goes wrong , so I knew I would have to take things carefully . I picked out the size of the sleeve that I wanted to try which was 18 x 13. I was really wanting to "get it right" because I love blue. The liner fabric I had picked up to put a liner in a vest for a grandson.I really do like it because it is easy to sew and it is nice and slick. I got brave this time and decided to put a pocket in the liner this time.So far - so good~Of course I am back to blunders - when I was sewing the bottom of the liner so I could turn everything right side out and I discovered that I had sewn the bottom - BUT had not sewn it together. I now had a tube instead of a liner closed at the bottom. Thank goodness it was a Big redo! Just a tiny one!

I did not have to resew so many things this time. I kept calming myself and telling me to stay "in the Moment". You know that is really hard for all of us "multi-taskers"!!!

Here it is showing the blue liner inside and the envelope closure. 

Here is a shot inside showing the pocket I stuck in there. I have learned one thing . That IF I had put a snap closure that when people go through metal detectors it would set the alarm off. So, since I do not have any metal components they do not have to worry about that. I am so happy that I actually pulled it off. But , I also know that I still have a lot to learn about fitting these puzzle pieces together and how people actually use these sleeves?????

Hope everyone is having a beautiful day! We still have LOTS of snow and the birds have flocked to our feeder. There are four pair of cardinals , one blue jay, a handful of chickadees, little juncos and  some titmouse sweeties ! They are all so precious .Maybe we humans could "learn" some neato tips from them?
You know - like don't worry about things that you cannot change and stay "in the moment" .
