I'm Helen. I'm a wife and mom and I work from home as a telephone advice nurse. 'Triage' is from a french word meaning 'to sort'.
In nursing, it means to determine the level of urgency of care needed- so I'm a sorter of sorts:-)
In my free time, I like to bake and do home projects, like painting (walls, not pictures) My current passion is making handmade soaps and other bath and body goodies.
First try at a laptop sleeve
Posted on November 6th, 2008 in Juicybags
I was attempting to make a laptop sleeve, but I ended up with it being exactly the right size for a MacBook. I’m just not sure I want to make lots of these- it was a bit challenging.
I do love the inside- it’s so soft and cushy- I just want to curl up inside it. I used 2 layers of quilt batting so it’s really nicely cushioned. Oh, and it’s hard to see here, but it has a zipper across the top to close it.
I listed it for sale in my shop with more pictures here:

Looks very good, turned out nice. Things are usually hard the first time you make them. Are you going to put some kind of fastener on because I know when I’ve had sleeves before the danger is picking it up upside down and the laptop crashes out! A strap and fastener across the middle would prevent this unless it’s a really snug fit

It’s got a zipper across the top- guess I should have mentioned that!
