i'm going to be getting a shiny new white macbook in two weeks and i wanted to make a cover for it for inside my backpack.  i want to make the inside out of a black or white fleece for cushion, and the outside is to be made of felt.  thing is, i have no inspiriation.  i don't want danglies, feathers, or anything that can be pulled off or ruined by sliding college textbooks, and i want it to be able to stand up to a year overseas when i go for my masters.  i've checked the memories and haven't found quite what i was looking for.  something simple, elegant, but not plain.  i have skills with needlepoint, crochet, knit, working with felt, and i have access to a sewing machine, but i'd prefer the details to be handmade.

a google search seems to only bring up hugely excessive and wild cases, or else plain black ones.  maybe i'm searching wrong?

so, my long-winded point is that i'm asking you guys for ideas.  i'm not looking to copy someone else's idea, but i need something to go from.

thanks a ton in advance, and i'll be sure to get pictures up when i'm finished.
