the people have spoken

gnome laptop sleeve 007

Wow! I guess you want a gnome bag pattern? Okey dokey - I'm working on it as we speak. In fact, your response has been so positive that I hope to have the pattern up for sale before Christmas - can it be done? I think so.

AND, thanks to Joyful Abode's question concerning a laptop fitting in the bag, I've decided to make a matching, padded laptop sleeve as part of the pattern. I'll have to make the sleeve customizable, due to the great variation in laptop dimensions. I love mine - it gives me a wonderful way to cover up that Nascar label that is built into my own laptop (Don't ask - my laptop was a great deal, and we were able to get rid of that loud "engine revving" sound when Windows started up ...)

In other news, I am sick. Again. And I have pinkeye. Woohoo! I think my defenses must be ridiculously low, given the stress of last week. Joy.

The good news? Patrick is making a Chicago-style pizza for dinner. Joy - this time, without the sarcasm. :)

xo,
Meg

Oh boy oh boy! I was wanting to buy the pillow pattern but wondering if I should hold out for the bag pattern too. And yes, I can have both!

I'm sick too. Honey and lemon tea for me.

That is perfect! I just found out that my sister is buying a new laptop after thanksgiving. I know just what pattern to use for her gift now!

I can't wait for the pattern! I tried making something similar after I saw your bag, but I think I used way too much interfacing. I will try again when I have your pattern!
