As a quilt maker (almost exclusively) I was nervous above diving into the bag-making world when I needed a new laptop bag. This pattern was refreshingly easy to follow and to understand, even for someone like me who is used to working in the world of 2D. The areas I was most nervous for (ie. zippers!) was surprisingly simple to sew.

It was so much fun to watch this bag come together before my eyes!

My son asked for a laptop bag. I showed him this pattern and he said it was perfect. It is! Made with vinyl and cotton for lining. He was super excited and it made up beautifully.

Great pattern! Thorough instructions, didn’t have to look at the tutorial. The most challenging part is doing the final assembly and binding as there are lots of layers to go through. Not difficult to understand but I did break a sweat trying to manhandle everything.

This bag is so cute!

Full disclosure: this is the first bag I've attempted. And I'm only a beginner. My great-grandmother taught me the basics when I was a girl, but if you look closely I'm clumsy with the machine and my stitches. (And shame on me, I broke a needle there at the end.) But dang it if this bag isn't super cute. I love this pattern!

The fabric I chose is a cotton canvas, inside and out. I designed it and had it printed. (It's me, my husband and our fur babies.)

The pattern instructions were ok for me to follow, along with the video tutorial. Thank you for that. I didn't understand the binding bit, which I think that is more my newbie status than the instructions. And I got too excited to finish it!

This bag was challenging! But I did it!! It took about two days.

I don't know if this is me being silly but I didn't see a measurement for piece I, so I kinda winged it there by making it about the length of H (14 inches) by 2 3/4 inches.

I found this a quick and well-written pattern. I did add a padded slip pocket to the inside so I could also carry my ipad. Love the finished product in pink leather and quilting cotton.
