Of wonky stitches, soft materials and personal expression. Here, it's okay if it looks handmade—in fact, that's exactly the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll begin by knitting the sleeve itself, creating the foundation of the project. The front is then decorated with crazy patchwork, appliqués, embroidery and crocheted letters. The pattern includes templates for every element on the front, but we also hope you'll feel inspired to make the design your own. Change the text, play with the colours, add new motifs or embroider your own little details. It's these personal touches that make every sleeve one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, the sleeve is lined to keep your laptop well protected, and buttons are sewn onto the flap to keep it securely closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the pattern, we share examples of the stitches and techniques we've used, but feel free to experiment and find your own way. Play, explore and make it yours. If something doesn't turn out the way you hoped, you can always stitch over it—or simply remove it and try again!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse what you already have in your stash, tucked away in drawers or hidden in the attic.
