A pretty, floral fabric case for my new netbook!
The tea towel was part of a set of three from Wilkinsons. Thought that the heavier tea towel fabric would be better for wear and tear than a thinner cotton. I just used the netbook as an outline to get sizes and got on with it. Not by any manner of means perfect - I'm not great at sewing, but I managed.
Got enough of this fabric left over to make a case for my phone.
And there are two tea towels left!
Pop over to Lakota at Faith Hope & Charity Shopping to see some other Tuesday ta da moments.
A big welcome to my new followers and many thanks to all of you who leave comments on my posts - I really enjoy reading them.
Love, Liz

great make Liz.
I have those tea towels, like you I bought them with making in mind. Mine ended up as a make up bag!
: )
Wow! is all I can say, ermm, except "wish I could sew"

Great idea! I've seen tea-towels used more for projects like this than for washing up. They have such great patterns and already nicely hemmed!
Great idea Liz - I love the pretty tea towels you've used, and as you say the thicker fabric will make it more durable.
Have a great week!

P.S.
Thank you for your sweet comments. You're in the draw, oh by the way the plate is orangey-ginger! (I should have adjusted the colour balance.)
So beautiful!! Love the colors! xo Heather
That is so sweet! You see some great tea-towels at very reasonable prices these days - I think all the chains know what a lot of tea-towel lurve there is going on these days, and they've got their acts together! Florals + gingham = sure fire winner

Really lovely fabric combination. I like adding a personal touch to my technology - after all, you don't want it to look like everyone else's! I have some tea towels stashed away somewhere...

Fantastic make Liz! I bought the same tea towels and they've found their way into cushions.

Lovely! The fabrics complement each other so well. And the double button detail to fasten is a fab idea.

That's really lovely and the combination of the flowery fabric and the squares is refreshing. I love the name of your blog as I can never get enough of shortbread and ginger is a favorite ingredient for cooking! Christra

Hi Liz,
I can finally leave a comment on your blog :) In the past I always got a black screen over your blog and couldn't leave a comment (for some odd reason?)..but I have a new browser and I can finally leave you comments now :)
The net book cover is so pretty. I really like your idea of using tea towels..very clever. I may just have to go to wilkinson's now to buy some tea towels :)
