So my beautiful niece's 10th birthday was last Tuesday but her party wasn't until today. I had decided I was going to make her a custom purse because she has watched me so many summer's at work sewing up a storm for everyone else. THEN, my brother, on Wednesday, tells me what he was getting her for her birthday and could I made a case for her new computer/notebook/laptop.............hmmmm whatever it is called.
Ok, so let me think... I have never made a case for a very expensive piece of machinery, what if it is too flimsy and falls out??? Then it would be a cute expensive paperweight. So for two days I stressed over how to make it and them 9am Friday morning I had him pick out the fabric from my stash and I got started.
So what do ya think?
I LOVE it, makes me want one too, but I don't have a notebook, just a big laptop~
Today at her birthday party:
I would say the HP Notebook was the biggest hit.....
Her asking my brother if he REALLY got her one?!?
My giftt was next:
Fits perfect!
I think when I was ten I was still asking for Barbies........ my how times have changed. LOL
