I made a couple sleeves for my mammoth XPS laptop.\u00a0 One of those ended up to large and the other one is great.\u00a0 I really like them but I am still looking for a couple things.\u00a0 One is a sleeve with handles.\u00a0 I am still dreaming up that idea.\u00a0 But I had been wanting to make some sort of carrying device for Bella (that is the laptop’s name Bella Finestre – pretty windows).\u00a0 I had been working on an idea in my head for a couple weeks and this idea revolved around denim.\u00a0 I had been pondering sewing together scraps of denim including jeans, pockets and random pieces laying around in the studio\/server room\/office.\u00a0 When I “plan” these things it is more of a constant worry.\u00a0 I think about it, I wonder how it will look, then I rethink it and then I worry some more.\u00a0 Suddenly during one of these pondering sessions I had an epiphany!\u00a0 GET a denim skirt sew it shut and make it a bag.\u00a0 Then I totally ran with the idea in my little head and here is what happened.<\/p>\n

I ran off like this was a OMG had to be done right now project.\u00a0 First I needed to figure out how wide of a skirt I need I know Bella is 17″ wide but I am at work and have no tape measure to take with me.\u00a0 *Note to self buy an extra one for my purse.\u00a0 I took a ruler and measured from a spot at my ankle up and knew if the skirt was that wide it would work.\u00a0 Armed with a crazy idea I head to the nearest GoodWill<\/a>\u00a0and proceed to measure skirts up my leg.\u00a0 I am on the bargain hunt and this week’s sale color is black.\u00a0 I found 3 denim skirts that looked like they would work and they were all\u00a0tagged black so that is 50% off $3.99.\u00a0 Then over to find 2 ties\u00a0to uses as sashes, SCORE 2 black tags making them 50% off $1.99.\u00a0 Next lining for the skirt because I don’t want to go to the store.\u00a0 Score one more skirt (purple knit hounds tooth) and a 50% black tag sweater.<\/p>\n
