How to Make a Laptop Bag

Hi friends! I have a fun beginner friendly sewing project for you today. I’ll be showing you how to make your own laptop bag! You can also use this same tutorial for just about any size bag you’d like to make. It’s great for ipads, notebooks, laptops, journals etc.

Below are measurements for the bag I’m making, I have a Windows Surface Pro, and my finished bag size is 11″ x 13.5″. You’ll want to measure your laptop, notebook, or ipad and create measurements that fit your needs.

Measure your laptop as follows:
Width + 2″ + depth
Length + 2″

Create 2 pieces that fit the above measurements for the front and back of your bag and sew them together as shown in the video.
