I saw this tutorial for a portable DVD player tote by Make It - Love It a couple years ago but never had either the batting or material to make it. We were using the box the DVD players came in for years until it completely fell apart and then we went to a reuseable grocery bag. We were always very careful with them but it was certainly not ideal. Someone was bound to drop the bag or step on it or such eventually.
I think this bag is a major upgrade! I just wish I'd made it a long time ago. It's all lined with quilt batting, and there's room for 2 DVD players inside with a divider in between.
I like the nice roomy pleated pocket on the back for cords, etc.
The tutorial on Make It - Love It was a little intimidating to me at first because she doesn't give you any measurements, only instructions, but if you measure your DVD players, add seam allowance, plus a little for the quilt batting you'll be fine. It was actually pretty easy to put together. I didn't have enough fabric for a strap so I just got a metre of nylon webbing and attached that.
