I really wanted a fun and stylish laptop sleeve that was easy to get the laptop in and out of for my new Mackbook. I wanted it to feel unisex so my partner wouldn't feel silly when borrowing my laptop. And the Mackie Sleeve was born!
It's both quick and fun to make and it contains instructions to adjust it to fit almost any laptop size! And you can play around with this design endlessly!
It's the perfect gift for the guy or gal in your life that has everything already. Who doesn't want a cool laptop sleeve, maybe with a fabric with his or hers favourite character peeking out of the zipper? ;)
