Ugh

Cons: bulky, doesn't fit computer

This pattern was a HUGE disappointment. I normally love Amy Butler patterns. They're typically easy to follow and give great results. This pattern, though, was atrocious. The directions are mostly fine, but the instructions for adjusting for your own computer are all-but-useless. I tried to do that and ended up with a case that was utterly un-usable (the corners of my computer left exposed). (I have a thin Mac Powerbook, BTW) Even when you make it exactly as directed, it just ends up looking bulky and ugly. It's very difficult to sew the seams and turn the case right-side out, as well, because it's so bulky. I would not recommend this pattern to anyone. Save your money and just self-design a sleeve for your computer!
