I am working on this padded laptop bag sewing pattern. There will be options for an eReader bag or an iPad bag along with a short handle like you see above or a long shoulder strap. I am designing it for the beginner so do not let the zipper fool you or should I say scare you. I promise you can do this!! Wait..... did I just promise this!!? Well, that's how sure I am that you can do this and look how great it turns out! I will also make dimensions for a bible cover as well.
I hope all of you are having a wonderful January day! I am in Louisiana and it is in the 70s today and breezy. Love it!
Laptop BagI am working on a Padded Laptop Bag which will also be an eReader bag/sleeve, and an iPad bag/sleeve. I am really not sure whether to call it a bag, purse, sleeve, or satchel. The one above fits a 10"x15" laptop. I decided to purchase some of the hardware from local harware store for customers who do not have a local hobby craft store in their area. The O-rings were perfect (Home Depot or Lowe's) versus the D-rings that are usually used for purses. So either would look great. The swivel clasps are at Home Depot or Lowe's. The padding was on the insulation aisle. There are several more padding options I will try but this worked just great.
I was able to use this particular laptop bag at two meetings already the compliments were awesome! As always, I am designing with the beginner in mind. Don't let that zipper fool you! It was a cinch and I did not use a zipper foot at all. BUT if the zipper scares you (which it should not :) you will be able to leave the zipper out. It will also have a short handle option or a long strap option.
Hope all is well with you. The weather has been in the 70's some days and then jumped to the 40's. We are back at 70's today..... Yay!
