The Lembas Laptop Sleeve is a simple quilted envelope to keep your laptop cozy while you’re on the go. It’s an excellent way to practice quilting and bag making skills if you’re just getting started. And it makes an excellent gift.

The Sleeve is made with straight seams, a lining, and a zipper with a free end for easy use.

The Laptop Sleeve can be made from scraps, or even pieced if you feel really creative! The Lembas Laptop Sleeve pattern comes in two sizes: Medium (for a 13-14” (33 – 35.6 cm) device), and Large (for a 15-16” (38.1 – 40.6 cm) device). We also show you how to make a custom size if needed.
