Default Book and lappy cases

For christmas this year, I made my daughter a case for her Bible. I had to make a prototype, so I made one for myself too. Then we got DD2 a net book for her birthday, and that needed a sleeve............She has been badgering me to finish it, so pic of that in a few mins

Here is DD2's lappy case .



Pic not too great as there was hardly any battery left so I had to snap it before it shut down on me.

I would say that there is - I was looking for one a while ago and the only ones I could find were really ugly 'man-ly' grey / black ones and they were really expensive!

Thanks for all your lovely comments. I used a couple of mouse mats each side for Rosies case, but they are not really the answer, I had to use 2 each side as one was not big enough. She is delighted with it, but then she is often easily pleased . Anyone got any bright ideas of something I could repurpose for padding? Neoprene is v expencive in sheets.
