Today I found I ran out of my favorite perfume... Now, instead of throwing away the box, I made this as a belated birthday present for a friend. I think it turned out pretty nice!


i stuck the bow to the paper with super glue... it's gonna stay there!

a few pics from the process:

Hello Craftster community! I've been a lurker for months and I just decided to actually join the community. Being my first post, i can only post links to the pics, not the pics themselves. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Anyways, to the point... my first notebook case!







I made this shortly after getting my MacBook in late 2008. I'm not a great seamstress but I think I pulled it off okay. I'll make a new one soon, because I got so many great tips and ideas from this site that I really want to get back to work!

I used faux fur, matelasse red fabric for the lining (provides a little cushion too), and a layer of white plastic in between so that no water or dust can get in. I really love the orange zipper, i think the colors match wonderfully. What do you think?
