Making a laptop case

[seveneves]

Check out some of my bags www.neveshorses.com. I custom make laptop bags for people. Let me know if you're interested I could sell you a pattern

i made a case for a labtop that was 15 inches i took one pice of leather 36 inches long lined it with a pig split and then i put in 3inches for the gusset and then laced up the sided looked really good

I used to have Vol 2 around here somewhere. If I remember right, A.S. used 6/7 oz for the main bag. By the time you line it with a 2 1/2 oz, ya got 9/10. Your bag will be - what - 20-21 inches? You might be okay, but I'd want a young guy with me to carry it

That's my take ... 6/7 and line with 2/3 oz veg tan (goat?). Maybe a couple of sewn-in dividers around the laptop, keep it in place.

You could always add wheels, and a harness that would attach to the dog's collar. This - or course - should be discussed with the dog ...

I am working on a 'skeleton' computer case; almost like a leather wrap. I am designing it for a friend of mine who mentors youths in his church. He is teaching them computer technology and he just got a 12.1" Averatec laptop. We talked about a computer bag, but I guess kids are into carrying their stuff by hand (or at least this one is); we eventually decided on a simple skeletal case. I am lining it with suede and making some small storage compartments, business cards, etc. I will eventually share it with my leather guild at a meeting for a project.

Down the road, I can see it get on her or maybe another publishing newsletter. I haven't decided.

LCSJ will get my money for a subscription, but I doubt it will see any of my projects (long story).

I will try to post some pictures here when I get the prototype done and read to deliver.

Good luck.
