DIY laptop bag

In recent years, the number of various mobile devices, including laptops, has increased significantly. This became possible due to the decrease in their prices and the gradual computerization of various fields of activity, due to which the presence of a laptop has become a vital necessity. But a laptop cannot be without such an accessory as a bag. After all, it is she who protects it from damage, and also allows you to make its transportation convenient.

Many do not pay much attention to her appearance, but there are people who care about how she will look. If all the models sold in stores do not suit the laptop owner, then you can do it yourself.

In most stores today, there are models that are focused only on carrying a laptop, but do not carry any aesthetic component. Most of them are black zippered bags with one or two compartments, designed to transport a laptop, as well as a battery and various accessories, such as a mouse.

It is difficult to find something fashionable or interesting here, which is why the question of how to make a laptop bag becomes relevant.

If you have never done something like this, then it does not matter - sewing master classes can be found in videos on various channels on Youtube, as well as on the websites of specialized magazines for fashionistas, where they will show you how to sew almost any model. After you have decided on the model that you are interested in, the next stage begins - the selection of the necessary materials.

There will be no problems with this, since materials and tools are widely available and can be found in any specialized store that sells materials and fabrics for sewing clothes.

Now let's go directly to its creation.

If you do not want to fantasize too much that you can create something original based on an existing solution. An important point is that it is best to do such things from some kind of dense and durable fabrics.

The first step is to take measurements from the device, as well as the choice of pieces of fabric that will become the basis of the future bag.

To do this, you will need:

• valve fabric;
• lining and main fabric;
• doublerin or some other sealant;
• a pair of fasteners or straps (depending on the selected bag model).

The sewing stages are as follows:

• First you need to do the cutting. To do this, it is necessary to outline the main and lining fabrics, taking into account the dimensions of the gadget and taking into account the allowances for the seams. You should add a couple more centimeters for a free fit. The valve layout will also depend on the type and appearance of the gadget.
• Next step - cutting out the details of the cover. Each will need to be glued with a doubler or a previously selected seal. Sewing should start from the main piece. In this case, the fabric is folded with its face inward, sewn with a regular stitch. Now the edges need to be processed. If you want to apply some drawings, make appliqués or add details, then this should be done at this stage, until all the elements have been sewn together.
• Let's start forming the bottom: from the bottom of the sewn part, the corners are neatly inserted, after which the seam is fixed with a pin. It is necessary to measure the thickness of the gadget perpendicular to the seam and mark it with a pencil. Now the product needs to be sewn along this contour, and the excess fabric must be cut off. For the day, it will be even better to have two stitches to make it stronger. In the same way, we sew the second corner, as well as the lining. By the way, in its lower part it is necessary to leave a small hole.

• The next step is to create a flap or bag lid. It is necessary to fold the two parts facing one another and sew them on 3 sides. Excess corners are cut off, and the edges are processed, after which the valve should be turned out to the front side and do it all again. When the valve is ironed, then a decorative line will need to be laid on the front side around the perimeter. Magnetic buttons can now be inserted. After that, the flap is applied to the front back of the product and can be secured with pins. To do this, fold the body and lining, and then sew them together. Now we sew the hole that was left in the gasket and the bag will be ready.

If you wish, you can sew handles to it, but here everything will be individual.
