- I found these adorable strawberry drying mats at Marshall’s the other day and couldn’t help but think that they would rather be a laptop case. 😂😂😂 Here’s how I made it!

Girl! You’re going to make me go to the poor house with all these beginner friendly sewing projects but how awesome will these be for gifts this year! I wake up daily excited to see what new project you have! TY for how much work you put into your videos and shopping trips for your audience.
Would love to see how to add pockets to one of these dish drying mat projects. I have a general idea but I would like to visually see one. I’m a visual learner.

I would love to see this tutorial made with a few zipper pockets to hold charging cord & 1 to hold the mouse. This would be perfect for traveling. Thank you Chelsea for all your projects.
New subscriber here and have been watching your DT tutorials. I made your strawberry pouch zipper bag with success. I also found two of DT’s chair cushions (black, white and yellow bubble bee patten) with ties. They seem similar to the dish drying mats. I quilted each side and then sewed them together with a box bottom, using the straps for handles.
Thank you for your great tutorials and even more so for your encouragement. You’re like my favorite teacher saying, “You’re doing just fine. Keep going”.
I feel like you would be the coolest friend! I love your personality ❤ I helped my granddaughter and a couple of her friends make the market tote bag with the dish drying mats from DT. They had so much fun making them and they turned out so cute! Thanks Chelsea!
Awww yay! This is what it’s all about! Spending time together and learning how to do things with our hands! I love this so much!
Super cute 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
I love it I'm going to try to make it and add a pocket and straps 😊 thank you for sharing.
Love this project! Here’s a zipper tip-after you first get the zipper pull on, run it all the way up and off, then separate the bottom inch or so, and put it back on, stopping midway through the length. That way, you’ll have better control over your zipper ends when sewing on the tabs. I found this out the hard way quite awhile ago 😂
how do you put the zipper pull on to begin with??? I'm ready to cry trying to get the darn thing on to the zipper.
@@nancya8262 I have a zipper jig, and it makes it so much easier to do. I was about to give up on zipper by the yard until I saw a video with a zipper jig. 😊
@@nancya8262 I had the same issue with the zipper tape. I now have the zipper pull jig and it works a lot better. Now I’m able to use my zipper by the yard.
The laptop cover is very cute. I think I'd sew it with the red edging visible on the outside.
Here I am on Sunday in my sewing room thinking I have to go to the Fabric store aka Dollar Tree!!!
You should!
I’m making your pumpkin bag now and I can’t wait to do this !
Hi Sally here ! My dollar tree hasn’t had the larger mats … no mats at all. I went to Home Goods and got 2 really pretty mats for 7.99 🤷♀️
The timing! I was just thinking that I need cushioned laptop and iPad cases! The zippers intimidate me a little. I never quite know where to stitch. I spent a bunch of time choosing the right zip color for a pouch I just made then sewed so close to the teeth I could barely close it and NONE of the colored tape even shows. 😂. I felt I needed to get close because the bulk kept making it hard to sew straight. I picked it out 4 times before I was semi-successful. I need zipper 101 classs!!
Thanks,for sharing thus "EASY PWASY" SEWING LAPTOP PROJECT.
Love the simplicity of the creations you are doing. I've been sewing since I was in high school (late 60's) but I'm always up for learning easier and cheaper ways of doing things that don't compromise their quality. Thanks so much.
You are a wonderful teacher ! I have sewn for years..very basic home projects. Never attempted zippers! This makes me feel like I could!
You can do it!
Chelsea, thanks for your enthusiasm, encouragement and bubbliness; you are such an inspiration!❤
Thank you so much!
I always have a pen and note pad with my I pad so I think I’ll close in the bottom sides. I just love your creativity.
Thanks!
What an inspirational speaker you are! Wonderful life advice, plus the bonus of sewing tips! 😂❤️
This is really cute and useful! I’ve got to make me one. Thank you for sharing this !
You’re welcome 😊
This is such a wonderful project! You did it in a short amount time while teaching every step of the way. It fits your laptop perfectly. Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome!
Great idea Chelsea! Keep the contents coming! I am enjoying your tutorials. Thanks for giving us great contents. ❤
You are so welcome!
Love it. I would use permanent two sided tape to tack down the zipper tape instead of sewing it. I'm going to make one for my tablet.
But you have to be careful not to get that case wet, because it will hold water.
I am going to hold my hand up here 🤦♀️I have had my sewing machine for years and years, it is only today that I took the foot off and attached the zipper foot. As you can guess I am no seamstress, but I make easy things that do not require a zip, hence the fact it only went on today 😳 🤦♀️but I am shortening a pair of my trousers and the tutorials were suggestion using the zipper foot. I have looked at quite a few tutorials to see how to easy it was to take them up neatly and easy. I am sitting here watching you via the tv on YT and it sounds as if you are sitting here with me, such a fun video. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
I love it! Glad I could keep you company! I’m proud of you for trying something outside of your comfort zone!
You are so talented, thanks for sharing all your ideas. Plus you make me feel as a beginner “I can do it”!
Chelsea, thanks to your tutorials I have pulled out my sewing machine and set up a sewing area in my craft room. I now have the confidence to sew zippers and bags but I struggle with getting the corners of my bags to pop out at the ends of the zippers. I would love to see in a video you specifically speak to how you sew the bag together to make the ends pop.
I think it’s perfect, how about a couple of handles. So you carry as well. Just add to the outside, with a little reinforcement. I love strawberries.
My niece loves gnomes and I found a drying mat with gnomes on it and I am going to make her one of these for her laptop!! Love your tutorials. I made 27 pot holder eyeglass cases today! Just love your stuff!! Thanks!,
I absolutely love all the idea's you come up with. Who knew that dollar tree Matt's would make bags! Love your cheerfull video's!!!!
Thanks so much!!
Hi, Chelsea from Tucson Arizona. I hope you have a blessed and healthy Sunday. Hi, watch you every day. It's awesome cause. I'm learning a lot. My sewing machine broke so I'm waiting to get it repaired. When I do and I try to make one of those purses with the watermelon 1 that you did. I will post it on your page. Thank you for inspiring me to do something. I appreciate you.
My sewing project list grows more and more with every tutorial of yours that I watch.
I would love to see you put out a "shop with me" video so we can see your creative process in action.
Great idea!
❤❤❤ YOU ARE ONE OF MY FAVORITE RUclipsRS ❤❤❤
You are SO CHEERFUL SO POSITIVE AND SO ENCOURAGING! You MOTIVATE me like no other! GOD BLESS YOU!!!😊
Thank you so much!!
Your channel is so much fun. Thank you ❤️😁🌹
I want you to know the Dish Drying mats at Dollar Tree are hard to find now, the solid plain ones are there but the cute ones are so hard to find now. I found one of the yellow/black bee pattern and I used it for a splash guard around my kitchen sink faucet area. Not perfect but almost and it is so cute. I got the inspiration from your videos.
Love it! Strawberries are adorable… think I’ll try a tablet pouch with a DT mat
Another great project. Love it. God bless👍🥰🇱🇷
Thank you! 😊
Thanks! Mine didn’t “look” like yours but I was the boss of my fabric! lol
Great job!
I love love your channel 👍🏻👍🏻🤗🪡🧵
Well thanks!
you're so cleaver using a drying dish mat to make this zippered bag. I'm a fan. thanks for sharing your sunny giggles.
You are so welcome!
Love this! Show us the add ons soon: pockets, straps etc.
Love this laptop case you made! I love your creativity!!! ❤❤❤
Just discovered you today and am LOVING all these projects and your personality. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much! 😊
I'll have to check a little further on the size, however, this looks like about the right size as a small embroidery project holder. Also. Great job! Thank you!
Thank you.
All your positive influences end encouragement.
You are so welcome
I love love love it. I will make my granddaughter one for her tablet. Thanks for an awesome idea.
You are so welcome!
Wonderful tutorial! ❤ Maybe think about a follow up video showing how to add a pocket and handle. These are great projects! 😊
Noted!
You are adorable hon. I learn so much from you. Thank you so much. 😉
You are so welcome
This is such a cute project. I love how you explain how to do it. How can I send pictures of what I’ve made so far to you. I would like to show you.
I absolutely love your tutorials and smile while watching. You are adorable with great ideas ❤
Thank you so much!
Just found you this morning and am so glad I did. What an idea!! I'll go out there and catch your other ones. You sure make me laugh and I appreciate your positive attitude!! Thank you so much!!
I love anything strawberries! Great video :) Blessings.
Chelsea I LOVE your channel and your teaching style. I think you are the best. Here is my ONE issue, you make putting those zipper pulls on the "zippers by the yard" look easy and it is NOT. I am losing my mind trying to make it work. Worst of all I bought those helper tools and I cant figure them out either. Can you make a video where we can really see you put the zipper pull on the darn zipper and maybe how to use the tools ---the zipper "jig" Thanks so much.
So cute! Now I need to find something in purple for my granddaughter!
Those drying mats are adorable 🎉
I think so too!
I love this!!! Could you do a tutorial of how to add pockets and or handles? I love your videos thank you for sharing
So cute that you seem surprised when the laptop fit😊
😂😂😂
That is cute. Thanks for sharing.
You ROCK!!
Absolutely stunning!!!!
Thank you so much!!
This is a great project. I bought an adorable e-reader cover (closes like a clutch bag) at a craft fair years ago but I need a small laptop cover and didn't want to buy bag making materials! - Kelly
I love this! And I love that zipper! ❤
Such a great quick Market make as well. Thank you!
How about a cross body bag from a cute place mat instead of a dish drying mat? I've been seeing matching place mats with the bees on them like the dish dry mats.
I was thinking the same thing
Wonderful tutorial. Would love one with outside pocket to hold charging cord and mouse. Mouse pad could be stored inside with laptop
Loved this idea. I just made one for my laptop. I used 2 mats and added handles. I might try adding an outer pocket for the cords and mouse.
That's a great idea!
Love it Chelsea! I think it's totally adorable.😊
Thank you! 😊
Chelsea you are such a bright light ❤
Thank you!
🤩Instant Like and Subscribe. This project is both practical AND cute! Way cuter and economical than the gadget sleeves at Best Buy. I'm new to sewing, but your easy-to-follow instructions and guidance give me the confidence to shake of my anxiety and get to work on making a few of these as gifts (and maybe one or two for myself). Keep on inspiring!
Gorgeous
This is so cool. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks for sharing your sewing knowledge.
You are so good at this!
I think it would be even prettier to use the bound edge showing on the outside. Could you do a demo of how you would install the zipper inside to let the bound edge show all the way around?
You have inspired me to sew on my YT channel. However, I don't know how to do my camera placement. Would u be willing to show us ur camera placements plzzzz??? I enjoy all ur videos, especially the DT crafts. Tks a million for sharing ur special projects 😊
So creative!
Thank you! Cheers!

Omg this comment went to the wrong place and person 😮 Love the laptop case, absolutely going to do it! You have some fresh ideas for ancient sewists 😂❤
This is so cute! I would love a longer tutorial for a nice maxi skirt or pajamas/pj shorts for adults. I realize though that this is not a DT friendly video request.... :/
