I just got a new laptop & want to make a tote for it. I know I saw *somewhere* that someone made one. I am wondering how strong it has to be~ don't want to drop the computer flat out of the bag, now do I? Anyone have any patterns or ideas? Thanks!

French seams may be a good idea here :wink:

One of the pattern companies sells a pattern, think it is Butterick? Could try a search and if get pattern customize to you specific size. good-luck

I used the serger for mine and when I made it I had a Kenmore that had a stitch that was like a straight stitch but went back and forth to make the stitch stronger. It is very strong. My daughter used it in college and I have it now with no problem.

Beachbound: use search at the top for laptop bags. I posted pics of 2 I've done. I've done about 20 now and sold almost all of them. They're quick and go together easily and are strong enough to carry a laptop without it falling out (just don't drop the whole bag with laptop in it LOL)

Wish I had a laptop to make a bag for :(

There's a pattern in this month's issue of Quilt World magazine: Back to School - Sassy Slide is the title.

There is a link to a free laptop bag, I made one of these and came out brilliant.

Hers the link, choose one and enjoy!

My daughters have asked me to make computer bags for them. I've purchased two patterns to work with: Simplicity 3889 and McCalls M4531. This is one of my to do list things that keeps getting put off.

I want to make one. Just got to finish a couple dozen projects first. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
