Flicky flies back to Scotland on Friday to start her fourth and final year at The University of St Andrews.
Those who have been following my blog since I started writing it four and a half years ago will no doubt be wondering just as I am, where did the time go?
I snapped this pic of her when we were having coffee earlier this week - it goes without saying that I will miss her terribly.
Before she went to uni, Flicky was a regular model of my wares on the blog and together we followed her uni application, graduation, prom and move to St Andrews. If you fancy catching up, all the posts are detailed in my blog's right-hand sidebar under Fab People & Places or you can quickly click through here.
We've also seen how Flicky likes to take sewn items with her, but over the last few years she's taken the reins in making these herself and this week she made a new laptop case for the dreaded Moriarty - for Moriarty's background story click here ;D.
She followed my zippy pouch tute (without using selvedges!) and added a front zipped pencil pocket.
From experience, Flicky now makes her laptop case large enough to carry her notepads and books too and she'll be able to slip her phone and cash in the front pocket so she doesn't need to carry a bag to lectures.
Fabrics:
floral fabric - karin, De Leon Design Group for The Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection
navy fabric - All Of The States, Hatbox by Alexia Abegg for Cotton + Steel
navy stag head fabric - Trophy, Rustique fabric collection for Michael Miller
green fabric - Moon Shadow by Kim Schaefer for Andover Fabrics
This year will fly by and I know Flicky will be sad to leave St Andrews but who knows what her next adventure will be? What I'd give to be her age and do the last 30 years again!!! :D

Like mother like daughter. An awesome laptop bag and a great idea to add the extra pocket to the front of the laptop bag.
ReplyDeleteMy son is entering his 2nd year at college. It is amazing how the time just flies by! Beautiful daughter and a great project.
ReplyDeleteI love her fabric choices!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful experience for your daughter, as you say the first of many adventures. My friend attended St Andrew's and I have fond memories of visiting her and having lovely beach walks etc.
ReplyDeleteI am on the West Coast of Scotland, in Ayr.
Looks great Flicky - well done. Doesn't seem like three years since you went of to uni - enjoy your last year at St Andrews. xx
ReplyDeleteI love it! I especially like the front zip pocket. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteLovely fabrics, and that extra pocket is a great idea! Thank you for sharing. Added to The Really Crafty Link Party Pinterest board!
ReplyDeleteOh the years just fly by and as I get older they go even quicker, here we are in Autumn already. Love the laptop case
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous, I hope she enjoys her final year of Uni
ReplyDeleteLovely laptop case; well done Flicky! I love your choice of fabric and your clever additions to your mother's pattern.
ReplyDeleteOh that's a gorgeous laptop case - she's clearly inherited some serious talent :)
ReplyDeleteOh great job! Beautiful and handy case. Final year already? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make some laptop cases for my grandchildren, they would really get a lot of use out of them. Thanks
