New Laptop Design That Isn't Boring!

 For me whenever I thought about "laptop bags", I thought of bags typically made with leather or nylon/polyamide and with a pretty generic boring and formal briefcase design. However recently though, we've been been getting more different styles such as backpack or cross bag style laptop bags. Yet they still used the same boring material and colors. Because of this I started looking for companies that would satisfy my preferences, and eventually I did find some. At first I was so excited but in the end I ended up resorting to the old fashioned black colored laptop bags. The designs of these "less boring" bags ended up being less practical, touting unimpressive designs, or too expensive!

I've been hard at work for a new laptop bag for people like myself who were not satisfied by the market standard! Although it features a standard briefcase design, it touts special aspects that you cannot find in other bags from the market. By using fabrics with geometric prints and a matching leather buckle strap on the front pocket, the project can result in a very elegant feel. If you find it difficult to find the right buckle, I would also recommend a 3/4" inch leather strap. The pattern is perfect not only for yourself but as a gift to your children, significant other, or friends!

Mei Kimono Bag

To celebrate, the Mei Kimono Bag is another pattern that I would recommend for new sewers as the easy to understand process is perfect for grasping some important sewing concepts. For the fabric, I recommend oriental style inspired fabrics and materials for the best results. There were suggestions in adding this to our 1-Hour Project collections, however due to the total length of the product it was excluded from the set but I would still recommend it to any sewers who want a unique looking Kimono Bag!

Brenna MacBook

As for the Brenna Macbook Bag, I feel like this is one of my personal favorites of the recent releases. I like to carry around my Macbook around - still prefer a real keyboard over the touchscreens on iPads or phones - and as such this bag as served me very well so far! Although named as the Macbook Bag, the pattern is designed to also be used as a casual cross bag. Using the right set of fabrics can also make it a school bag or a companion for the office.
