You want it? I'll customize it.

My dear friend Meagan wanted to do something really nice for her awesome girlfriend Joy on her birthday.  She knew she wanted it to be a sleeve for Joy's MacBook Air. The only question left was how to take it to that next level.

Joy and my lovely wife Deb have known each other for a very long time.  Joy as a result has a very special relationship with our dopey cockerspaniel Hobbes.  Meagan thought it would be great to have Hobbes on the cover of the laptop sleeve.  I thought it was phenomenal idea and got on it.

I decided to use vinyl because it makes the applique easier.  By using the vinyl I don't have to worry about fraying. It's genius!

On top of the practicality I am really enjoying the artistry of creating these appliques.  For Joy's case I took a cute photo of Hobbes and did a contour line drawing of his features and made a pattern from them.

I am so proud of how this came out.


Hopefully I'll be able to post up a review of what Joy thinks of her new case soon. Hope she loves it.  Happy birthday Joy.

I'm available to do custom applique work from your favorite photos. If you want it and if you love it, Just call me up and let me know.
