Commute with your laptop in style with The Morning Post pattern. This durable bag will give you peace of mind when carrying your device. The exterior zipper pockets are ideal for charging cords, keys, or other items that need to be accessed quickly. The soft-lined interior and foam interfacing protect your laptop from bumps and scrapes. Try using our new, Make-a-Strap webbing for a comfortable fit, and to customize the style of your bag!

Most patterns are measured and cut, which means that the pieces will need to be cut with a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. Some patterns may include templates for shaping and/or cutting out the pieces.

Trace or photocopy the pattern piece(s) onto a separate sheet of paper. If printing or copying template(s), print at 100% or actual size. Measure the test square provided in the pattern to ensure the pieces are the correct size. Tape corresponding pieces together before cutting fabric, aligning red lines, shapes, and outer edges. It’s also helpful to write the name and cutting instructions on each pattern piece. Cut out pattern pieces along solid black lines, unless otherwise stated.

Please review the back of the pattern cover for recommended fabrics. Shop our selection of Cork Fabric, Faux Leather, Microsuede, and Faux Fur for a designer finish. We also offer quality Interfacing and Stabilizers, to add structure and stability to your projects! Some patterns can also take our Mesh or Cotton & Canvas that we offer

Laptop bag

This was a great bag to make. I love it. I used a YouTube video to help make sure I was doing it correctly. Very nice bag to make. Not incredibly hard.

Thank you so much, Tami! Your Morning Post bag turned out fantastic — we love the fun cat print you shared here. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed making the pattern and that the YouTube video helped along the way. It really is such a satisfying project once it all comes together. If you’d like to show it off, we’d love to have you share it in our Sallie Tomato Patterns & Hardware Facebook group as well. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

Great pattern, easy to follow instructions.

Lovely pattern. Easy to file the instructions fits my laptop wonderfully.

Thank you so much, Margaret! I’m thrilled to hear the Morning Post pattern was easy to follow and that the finished bag fits your laptop so well. It’s always wonderful when a project comes together just the way you hoped. Enjoy your new make-we love that you shared it here-it is beautiful!

A bag for Dad

This worked perfect for my dad who just turned 88 and is still active looking for things to do and loves to go have coffee and read and work on his laptop but didn't have anything to carry his laptop and now he does! He loves it! This was the perfect pattern good instructions! Thank you!

Thank you, Susan! We’re so touched to hear how the Morning Post bag became the perfect gift for your dad—what a beautiful way to support his active lifestyle and daily joys. It’s wonderful that the pattern worked so well and gave him a stylish, functional way to carry his laptop. We’d love to see the finished bag if you ever feel like sharing! Our Facebook group, Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware, is a warm space for inspiration and connection. Happy Sewing!

Perfect pattern

I made this for a work trip I'm going on and I was hesitant because I hate binding but the simplicity of the pattern won me over. I was able to sew this in a mix of vinyl and corduroy with the sew in foam on my domestic machine with little difficulty. I'd recommend this as a simple basic bag. If I were to make it again I may add interior pockets as well.

Your bag turned out fantastic, thank you for sharing and for the wonderful review. If not a member-you may want to join our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook for more inspiration and to show off your makes. Happy Sewing!
