This is a
fun and easy DIY project that gives new life to that old hoodie
sweatshirt you have hiding in your closet. You know the one you
love but it really is not fit for wearing in public anymore? You
can upcycle your hoodie into a protective sleeve for your laptop in
no time, like this:
For
this project you will need:
A
sewing machine or needle and thread
An
old hoodie sweatshirt
Pins
and Scissors
Step
one, cut the hood, arms and back off of your sweatshirt, making it
as square shaped as possible, like this.
Next, fold
the fabric right sides together.
Using
your laptop to measure, pin the fabric along length and down one
side to form a pouch. Remove laptop. Sew long side and one end
closed to form a pouch. Trim off excess sweatshirt material. Turn
right-side-out.
The
finished product is a lap top sleeve with your sweatshirt logo on
the front and the hoodie pouch on the back, perfect for holding the
power cord/and or mouse for your laptop.

I
made this for my husband as a Christmas gift and he really liked
it! I am always excited when I can DIY a good gift for a fellow,
they are so much harder to craft for than girls. I would also like
to thank Rachael with
Lovely.Crafty.Home for the assistance in making this project.
This is a product of one of our super fun joint craft bonanzas like
the
Drop Cloth Christmas Stockings. And trust me, if we can sew it,
you can too!
