Eelke Dekker has found a way to transform ordinary everyday clothing into functional, wearable notebook computer sleeves. Wrap a hoodie around your MacBook and hey presto!
Coming soon: trousers for G4 Cubes, dresses for G4 iMacs, and socks for iPods. Oh, that’s already been done hasn’t it?
Eelke explains his thinking in Dutch on his blog post, so I’ve used Google Translate to turn it into English. Apologies, therefore, for the rough-and-ready nature of the translation:
“After the blog post on jerseys that are transformed into the MacBook Sleeve, a friend came along with an old sweater. While he was in the kitchen to toil on a delicious Italian pasta, I stickte jersey quickly to a precise appropriate, unique laptop sleeve.”

Totally true, ‘Stickte’ means ‘stiched’ in a previous blogpost I invited every reader to come along for a coffee, while I would stitch their ‘home brought’ sweater into a sleeve:

Turn your pants inside out, put your iPhone in your left pocket next to the straight seam, draw a line along the side of the iPhone, then (after removing the iPhone) sew a seam a couple inches along that mark, parallel to the straight side of the pocket. Turn your pants right-side out again, and you’ve subdivided the left pocket. Slide your iPhone into the right side of your left pocket, and you have an invisible iPhone carrier. The iPhone will stay upright on your thigh, where you are least likely to bump it against anything
I think the current iMac would look good in a V neck sweater!
I liked this site better when it didn’t suck.
Are Macs being embraced by the chav demographic now, a la the iPod?
Wow, slow news day?
