kerryveale Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Charlene, I found a rolling laptop bag at Walmart last year (by Targus). It was for 15" computers, but I am able to put my 17" in it. Not very cute, but it went on the airplane just fine to the SG convention last year! I even carry my Western Digital full-sized EHD in it. The rolling bag wasn't very expensive, either.

Sarah in VA Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I don't know if any of you sew. But, I have a great pattern for a laptop bag. It can be resized to fit any size laptop. If anyone is interested I can post a photo of the pattern with the Co. name who manufactures it. Mary Jo, I'd love to see a photo of that pattern and the information on it!

Here's the link: MiMi Digiscrap Laptop Tote They look really nice.Great choice of colours.It would boost the price for me having to have it sent to the UK. If you are wanting a backpack ,which is great for travelling on a plane, with laptop plus cameras,passports,etc,etc, and leaves your hands free.Check out Crumpler bags.They are not cheap but I bought one for DS for xmas and I was impressed when I saw it.It is neat and compact and the laptop is well protected and the whole thing is ergonomically designed.Great for back sufferers and it doesn't yell.....expensive equipment within Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves888 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 It is SO CUTE! It's by MiMi, I got it at overstock.com for a fabulous price, and it's the cutest green color. Oh my gosh, that IS so cute! I really only need a sleeve, because we have a nice leather laptop bag...but....but.....so cute!! Hmm....

anemone1983 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I bought a laptop bag when I got my 17" screen laptop -- and I was really concerned that it wouldn't fit, but I saw a review that said it would fit -- just not inside the cushy protective middle. Well, I bought it - and I'm SO glad I did! It is SO CUTE! It's by MiMi, I got it at overstock.com for a fabulous price, and it's the cutest green color. Let's see if I can find a link.... MiMi Pink laptop tote Green Tote (the one I have) [i see at this store, they come in pink, lilac, black, and green.] I just love my bag. It's very stylish and cute. And it really does fit my 17" laptop. I use the padded inside area for my wacom pad. there's lots of compartments for my stuff. My two cents for ya! Oh, and I SO know what you're talking about when you say that you get one thing, you need more... and more... and more! I got a laptop. I *HAD* to have a wacom pad. I *HAD* to have a small EHD. I got a camera. I *HAD* to have a new battery, remote, etc. etc. etc. Never ends. Gimme gimme gimme!! OH NO! You had me at Lilac...so I looked it up in Overstock - no listing, so must be sold out...then Amazon...who listed it in the mid-$50 from HSN of all places. Looks like limited quantities. They said 10 left in Lilac ... too bad, now there are only 9 left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimberlyRCade Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I am not buying a new one..I am not buying new one...I am not buying a new one...I am not buying a new one!!!! I have been chanting the same thing to myself ever since I saw this thread! I really don't need another one! I have the boring black one that came with my laptop, and I bought a bright pink rolling one from All My Memories (I think the online store went offline but other sites still carry them). I love that one if I need to fly because it has lots of space for not only the laptop but my EHD, my tablet, etc. But purple is my FAVE color, and I'd love a purple bag....

Hi Sara, Here here the photos the bag is 17.5 in by 17.5 in Finished. The total amount of material used is : less than 5 yards, but that includes everything. Its much bigger and roomier than it looks. I wish I had one made up , I think , I'll do one up in purples tomorrow! Let me know what you think?

scrappinchar Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Oh ladies! I do love that Mimi bag. I like that it has handles and a strap. And some room. And Joann said it fits her 17"...I have a 16" so it should be fine. I really like the green. But I've found the pink, lilac, and black cheaper. What to do. What to do.... $44.99 at JoAnn's or $58.40 for the color I like. Darn. All plus shipping. And MaryJo...I'm not that much of a seamstress. Ugh.

JoannB Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 LOL! I wonder if I can collect commission? Keep looking online - there's bound to be cheaper places. I saw that at Allen's Camera, the red is 20% off. Yeah, I'm a sucker for cute things. Oh! Another great place to look for cute laptop bags? Etsy.com!

scrappinchar Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Okay... deep breath.... I....am....going....to.....wait! lol I'm being to compulsive here. I haven't even picked up PSE7 yet. That's more important to me at the moment than a bag. It's just that I carried it to church tonight. We eat dinner there before choir practice. My computerish buddy wanted to see it. I wrapped a small towel around it (lol) and put it in a photo tote/bag that I have. (Has a spot for 3 pics on the outside.) It just doesn't have any kind of closure on the bag. But, it got the job done for now. Okay, carry on.... (Thanks for all your suggestions! I'll refer back to this thread at a later date.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorasinger Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You all have such a dilemma. If only I could have a lap top, then I could join in on the fun and share my wisdom. Maybe for my birthday. Oh well, for now I'll have to be happy with the Wii my DH just got me. Good luck finding the perfect solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah in VA Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Mary Jo, I love the look of that bag. I'll have to go looking for fabric and supplies - is that binding called for the seam binding that comes in a package. Or used to.....it's been ages since I've sewn anything! Maybe you should seriously think about starting up a laptop bag cottage industry! No kidding! I'll be looking for the one you'll be making today.
