    What lovely patterns. I would love to win. Thanks for the chance to you and to Anna, the genius behind them. Making a purse from a pattern, instead of buying one off the rack, is so much better because you can make it like you want, with as many pockets as you want, and the size you want.

  2. lucilledupuis says:

    I carry my phone. Occasionally I carry my iPad. An optional case for that is a great idea.

  3. Rhonda H says:

  15. Amber! says:

    These are amazing! If I don’t win, I’m totally buying a few of these.
    I only carry my phone, and if I have a pocket, it goes in there, otherwise, in a purse.

  16. Nicki says:

    I don’t have a special case for my tablet but I do try to add a large pocket to my tote bags to accommodate one.

  17. Jen B says:

    Phone always, haven’t broken down to purchasing a table yet, but hope to soon.

  19. Lesley says:

    I just carry my phon e. when i make bags I try to add a pocket for it

    I carry my iphone all the time and sometimes my iPad. I use a desktop PC so I don’t have a laptop. Thanks for the giveaway!

  21. Lori says:

    Hi, the only electronic I carry in my purse is my phone, but I made a little travel wallet for my tablet when I am on a road trip…

  22. Lynne Tilley says:

    I take my phone everywhere, of course, but if I”m going somewhere to visit all day or extended periods, I always have my iPad. Must have it!

  23. Jessy Minney says:

    I take my phone everywhere, but I don’t have a tablet. I do take my laptop with me a lot of places, but its too big to fit in all but the largest bags (15″ macbook pro). I do have it in a padded case though, when I do take it with me.

  24. smeebot says:

    Usually just my phone

  25. Barbara says:

    I carry my phone and often my laptop, sometimes my ipad as well. Thanks for the chance!

  27. I love making bags and would love to win!

  28. I almost always have my Nexus in my purse. You never know when you’ll come across some free WiFi!

  29. Angela Maneth says:

    I love the look of these bags! So professional and stylish. I have a thirty-one bag that is slightly padded for my tablet but I think these would be so much better! I would love to win.

  30. Hi Sarah, I must have missed something because I have no idea how this contest works – am I supposed to enter every time I receive an email?

  31. mumbird3 says:

    Love those patterns! mumbird3atgmail.com

  32. DianeY says:

    Wow! Lots of bag patterns I have never even seen before! This is a great series!

  33. Lisa Marie says:

    Yes, I have a padded case I made for my laptop that I use when I carry it on planes.

  34. Krista says:

    I love to make bags–but I don’t carry my laptop in one. It’s too large and would require a large bag–I’m only 5’4″ so the bag would probably dwarf me! 🙂

  35. Kara says:

    These look like really nice bags

  36. Cheryl says:

    I have a laptop bag that is black and boring.

  37. I like the tablet bag. I have been looking for a bag just like that.

  38. Catherine says:

    I don’t. I keep intending to make something for my phone.

  39. CK says:

    I always have my smart phone and sometimes my iPad. Often on the weekends I end up with a child’s device as well. Makes for a heavy bag!

  40. Mary says:

    I made a pocket inside my last bag to perfectly fit my smartphone, and another that my Allerject (new version of an EpiPen) fits in so it’s always with me.

  41. Carrie says:

    So far the only ‘tech’ I carry is my phone, and I do carry it in my bag. I’m learning to appreciate bags with smart pockets. The rest of the family all carry some tech with them, so bags patterns geared toward that end are definitely of interest.

  42. Denise Swanson says:

    I don’t carry much tech gear. Mostly just a phone, some times a Kindle, and very rarely an mini laptop. But who knows, with the right gear to haul it around, perhaps I would make the excuse to carry more things more often!!!

  43. Ellee says:

    I’m so old school — I still have a flip phone. My phone has miraculously survived being dropped several times, so I guess it’s a given that I should make a nice case for it.

  44. Donna W says:

    I don’t carry much tech gear. But my nieces and nephews do, so it is about time I make them something. Thanks

  45. Anke says:

    I sew a tablet sleeve, that I use to secure my tablet. I used to use a smartphone bag but my newest Smartphone I carry along with me only in a case.

  46. Crystal Austin says:

    I have sewed many zippy pouches for my phone & tablet. I Iove fabric so I love to change them out. Lol♡

  47. Cindy Sliker says:

    Although I can’t make rafflecopter accept my entry for whatever reason, still wanted to say I LOVE these bags! I carry my tablet with me everywhere, and these would definitely help me do it in style! Thanks for the great work.

    1. Caitlin Anderson says:

    For years, the only bag that I have carried on a day to day basis is a diaper bag. lol So no, I don’t carry my electronics in there. My phone is always in my pocket and if I take my tablet, it’s already in a case (that I made), so it’s protected.

  107. Lee says:

    Fabulous bags – I love the tech bag!! I have cases and bags for them!

  108. I always buy/make cases for my electronics, then somehow they all sit on various surfaces around the house while the gadgets get tossed willy nilly into a big bag as I race for the door. Sigh!
