Crochet Pattern: Fruit Protector – Fruit Cozy

I happily receive amazing fresh produce each week from Boston Organics. This means fruit, is now my snack of choice. Lately, I have been encountering a fruit eater’s dilemma. Each day I put an apple, pear, or nectarine into my bag for a snack. At lunchtime I discover, much to my disappointment, my notepad has been bumping against my fruit all morning, leaving it badly bruised- many times inedible. For me, this is an utter disappointment at snack time! To combat this reoccurring disappointment caused by manhandled fruit, my mom and I came up with these sock-like drawstring pouches to keep my delicate treats protected from the variety of dangers in my tote bag.

Crochet laptop case

I’ve never been one for reinventing the wheel. So, when I came across this fabulous tutorial for a laptop sleeve, I was super excited! yoonie-at-home provides clear and easy to follow instructions on how to complete this project. I made few patten modifications, but nothing major. I decided to put the opening flap along the long edge, as opposed to the short edge. Then I used leftover quilting fabric with some iron-on interfacing for the flowers since I didn’t have any felt around the house. Although I am happy with the fabric flowers, I think I will use felt as yoonie suggests the next time.  I’ve made two of these cute little cases so far, see below, and I was very happy with them. They work up quick and make great gifts!
