Electronics can cost a pretty penny or two (or ten thousand) so keeping them safe from damage is not only smart but necessary. In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to make a laptop/ E-reader/ tablet sleeve out of leather, with hardly any actual sewing and a cool factor that'll blow your roof.

Let's get started.

- Step 1: Materials

Leather

rotary blade and/or scissors

cutting board (self-healing ones are best for this)

top stitch or heavy duty sewing machine needle

top stitch or heavy duty thread in any color

sewing machine (but you can hand stitch instead)

grommets package and application tool.

- Step 2: Measuring

you have to measure your device to its exact measurements. After measuring, took the leather piece and played around with how you wanted the final product to look.

- Step 3: Cutting

cut two straight edges with my rotary blade and makeshift ruler using the width of my device and adding on a 3/4 inch margin to each side.

- Step 4: Sewing

Using regular-run-of-the-mill sewing machine, heavy duty thread and needle, you hand-cranked stitches along the two side lengths. This can also be completely hand sewn.

After sewing one edge, continue on to sew the other edge. Pop in your laptop/ Ereader/ tablet to make sure it fits snugly inside. Remember that leather stretches, so over time, it'll conform to the shape of your device, so make sure its snug.

- Step 5: Adding Grommets

After sewing, and snipping any extra threads, decide where you would put my grommets, which would serve as the closing mechanism for your laptop sleeve.

- Step 6: Threading Through

Now that grommets are in place, thread a stretch of cotton webbing under and over the grommets to achieve a design that you liked and served as a closer to the laptop sleeve. you have to hand stitched the two raw ends of the webbing with contrasting thread to ensure the webbing wouldn't unfurl.

- Step 7: Enjoy!Now you are ready to use your newly-made hand-done laptop/ E-reader/ tablet sleeve!
