DIY notebook sleeve from corduroys and a sweatshirt

No one with an internet connection is ever allowed to claim that there is a shortage of DIY tutorials and craziness on the internet, and this latest home-grown notebook sleeve from a guy named Sam is no exception. You see, Sam is an accident magnet (hey, his words, not mine), and he recently stained a pair of corduroy pants. He also ruined a sweatshirt a while back too - so what's an enterprising Mac nerd to do with all these ruined clothes and a 12-inch PowerBook which he might love just a smidge too much? Why, turn them into a case, of course! Sam wrote up a pretty thorough tutorial on how to put this case together, but he actually did this a few months back for his PowerBook, before the MacBooks were released. Fortunately, he included some extra math for the new machines so even more of you can play along.
Check out Sam's tutorial to snag yourself one of the more unique notebook sleeves which, as they say on TV, are "not available in stores! Order now!" Er, click now!

If there wasn't any cutting, sewing or hemming, I'd make one out of my Guns N Roses jean jacket!

OK, this is slightly (or, I admit, heavily) off topic.
Nothing to do with corduroy. It is Apple related, though. Read about the horrible mess that the Apple retail presence in Greece is:

Worth a laugh or two.
Holy crap, I think I might be making one of these myself - I've got my old cords just lying around...
