Today’s giveaway sponsor is Anna of Noodlehead. Anna is a pattern designer and blogger extraordinaire! Her bag patterns are unique and oh so much fun! There is a wide variety of patterns from beginners to advanced and from clutches to the super sized poolside tote. One lucky winner will receive 4 PDF patterns of their choice from The Noodlehead shop.
With so many awesome patterns, it will be hard to pick just 4!
The poolside tote is an super roomy tote that is perfect for all your summer adventures! It can easily hold 4 beach towels, but is also perfect for toting goodies for a day out and about. It also features two pocket options (zippered and slip), a key loop to keep your keys within easy reach and fun accents for you to show off your favorite prints.
The 241 tote is sure to become a staple in your pattern library, as it is a fabric lover’s favorite! Using small cuts of fabric, you’ll be able to use your favorites and still have scraps leftover. It’s called the 241 because it’s like 2 patterns in one! One version of the bag has two exterior side pockets (great for beginners), the other has two exterior zippered pockets (for those who might want a bit of a challenge).
Zipper pockets!
I like zipper pockets, they make me feel secure about phone, keys…
A zipper on top is great. At least one zippered outside pocket for keys is required. Inside phone pocket is a necessity. Thanks for the opportunity to win these patterns!
Love the sidekick tote! It would be great to win it.
i like to have some zippered pockets, but I also like to have some that are sized to fit certain items. One that fits my phone and maybe one to fit my sunglasses. That way I don’t have to hunt for them.
Zip pockets then magnetic ones 🙂
Zippered poclets for sure!
Elasticized pockets inside for my phone & notebook – plus an exterior pocket for keys.
I like a mix of pockets! Zips are secure and great for keys, phone etc but then a slip pocket is better for a book/ipad. Thanks for some great giveaways!
i like all kinds of pockets, especialyl because of the zippered pockets
I love a lot of the bags in the Purse Palooza but I have to have an inside zipped pocket. I think Anna’s blog is great and would love to win 4 of her patterns. Super Tote would be the first one out of the bag 🙂
I like slip pockets. like to make one just the right size for my phone. a key tab/clip/ring is also a must
I like both zipper and open pockets.
i like slip pockets and also elasticized pockets
Depends on what I’m using the bag for. A purse I like slip and zippered pockets. For a grocery or beach bag I like one inner zip pocket to keep my keys and ID, the rst needs to be open.
I like one zipper pocket and a couple small open pockets for iPhone and kleenex.
I like zipper pockets very much
I love a zipper pocket on the backside of the outside to hold my keys/phone when shopping
Zipper pockets all the way. If you don’t need it closed, you just can not use the zipper!
Also, I’m such a fan of Anna’s patterns! I’ve made 3 already and would love to make more.
Zipper pockets! They feel so secure. Noodlehead patterns are some of my favorites, but I don’t yet have them all! 🙂
I must have an inside zipper pocket, but I always like slide/open pockets on the outside of the bag for quick access.
I like a variety of pockets…zip, slip, and elastic. It depends on the bag.
I like zipper pockets the best, but I also like a slip pocket for my phone and a pocket for a pen or two.
I like to have lots of pockets! At least one zippered and two small slip pockets inside, and then at least one pocket outside!
I really like to use the welt pocket that I made for the first time. But zipper pockets are great, too. Well, so are slip pockets. Just need them. Thanks.
I like lots of pockets. At least one zippered.

Wow, cute bags! I may have to make some for friends. I love pockets and secret compartments on my bags.
I like open pockets that i can easily place items in and out (I need one for my phone and then at least one more for various items)
I love lots of customized pockets. Always one zippered and one open for a phone, plus a few others. Thanks for the giveaway!
Zipper pockets, deep pockets and little pockets…basically love to compartmentalize all my junk!
I like all pockets. Just as long as there are pockets in the bag, I’m happy.
HI, I love pockets, but the zipper kind, as I am always putting my bag down here,there, everywhere…….Thank you for the giveaway..And all the great purses I have read about……
I like zipper pockets. Especially in a big bag, so that I don’t lose things in it.
Zipper Pockets for sure!
Zipper pockets are great.
I like pockets with flaps and thin pockets for pens.
Zipper pockets and open pockets, I love lots of pockets 🙂
I love zippered pockets and a inside sewn on pocket for a cell phone and pens. Thanks!!
Al ways an inside zip pocket
Zip!
I like a bit of all of them, flapped, zippered, slip, big, small….
I like zippered pockets & then one with just a magnetic strap to keep it closed to keep my keys tucked into as they are clipped onto my purse strap – easier to get out that way and then they don’t make noise while I walk. 🙂
I like a mix of zipper pockets and just slip pockets.
Zippered pockets are my favourite, followed closely by pockets with flaps and closures!
I like zipper pockets.
I like little pleated pockets inside my bags to accommodate my cell phone, Chapstick and other smallish items.
I like zippered pockets for the small items and a slip pocket for my phone,
I like a good mix of all – some zipper pockets to have things secure, and some slip pockets to have things fast available.
gotta have at least one zipper pocket for security and then a slip pocket for my cell phone and one for my keys
I like zipped pockets
My preference is at least one zipper pocket on the outside and at least one on the inside. The rest can have elastic or not.
I like open exterior and zipped interior pockets.
I like a divider pocket down the middle on the inside with a zipper. It keeps important stuff safe and then I have two sides to keep my stuff separate from all my kids stuff!
I love all kinds of pockets!!!
I love outside zipper pockets on my bags.
Pockets inside or out are always used at some time on my bags for various things. Zippers are the most useful because they can be closed up to really hide or secure something but also useful just to drop something if that is what is needed.
I like a pocket that is easy to get into and will hold my chapstick and phone – the two things I use most!!!
I always make a small zip on both sides and a welt slip below that on each side, but MY FAVORITE is an interior zip pouch (that I attach with magnetic snaps at the base of the purse and the top sides of the pouch so that it is easily removable for when that extra compartment is not available). I’m working on fiddling with that arrangement in my first Rockstar bag now!
I love a zip pocket for all my bits and pieces.
a zippered pocket
I really need pockets with a zipper!
My favorite type of pocket is a slip pocket, mostly a bunch of slip pockets along each side.
It’s nice to have at least one zip pocket, but mostly I like open pockets and lots of them!
doesn’t matter just a lot
I love zippers and dividers!
Zipper pockets mostly. But…starting to play with elastic ones too.
I like to have at least one zip pocket and then the others slip pockets sized for specific items (phone, keys, chapstick, etc) so that I always know where to look for everything.
I’m a clutz I need zippers
Definitely zip pockets for my bags.
I only use outside pockets if they zip. Inside could be open or zip.
I like basic slip pockets, no zips. I’m always in a hurry!
I love a zipped pocket and lots of them.
Zip pockets, keep things safe!
zippered pockets! 🙂
Sounds like I’m not alone in needing my interior zipper pocket. A set of pleated pockets on the inside is a plus. Another zipper pocket and a slip pocket on the outside would make it just right.
I don’t really have a favorite interior pocket. Zippered ones are necessary to keep things contained and pockets that don’t have a closer are needed for items that are grabbed quickly, like your phone. I just love pockets!!
I really like having a zipper pocket to keep my phone in as well as a slip pocket – you can never have too many pockets in a bag!!
I MUST have at least one zipper pocket inside my bags, but there also must be an exterior pocket for travel tickets and so on.
I like all pockets, but water bottle pockets on bag ends are so practical.
I love love love internal zipper pockets. Can’t do without them!
My favorite type of pocket on my bag is an outside one to slip my cell phone into. It has to be just the right size to hold it securely, yet be accessible. Inside, I like my pockets to be zippered.
Slip pockets over the width of the bag, zippered pockets only on front or back of the bag.
zipper pockets are the best!
Favorite are zip pockets , I always put an elastic, a slip and inside and outside zips..plus one for the top..love me some pockets!
Definitely a zippered pocket..& one for phone. But I like the side pockets too, for small items..& an outside pocket is a plus! I like zipper top..or flap too. Is more secure. (LOOOOVE YOUR PATTERNS!!!)
Love the exterior phone pockets!
I love hidden pockets in unexpected places. Mostly I love slash or slot pockets.
Although I love to have a zip pocket or two to keep things secure my main love is a ton of well placed slip pockets! Plus, I’m trying to come up with a plan to add an umbrella pocket too!
Zipper pockets and MUST have the exterior cell phone pocket that will fit my new iPhone 6 plus
Zippered pockets are always nice.
One zippered pocket to keep that stuff you don’t want out until you want it, and open pockets for phone, glasses, pens/notepad. A zipper top is nice for privacy, and something for keys could be too.
I like several pockets inside and outside. I like having a large, open pocket on the outside of the back of bag, to carry magazines or papers I might pick up along the way. Also at least 2 large zippered and divided pockets on the inside. An elastic pocket on the front for cell phone and another zippered pocket on the front or fastened with a pretty piece of hardware. Just one more thing, a hook type thingy to fasten key chain to inside front pocket. Maybe I should just make one huge pocket with different size pockets sewn on it. Then just fold it over. (Smile)
I always prefer a combination of zippered and slip pockets, both inside and outside bags.
I love zippered pockets and always add them, but I have to have a slip pocket for my phone and an extra for sunglases.
I always do a slip pocket for easy phone access. Sometimes zipper ones for secure stashing
i love pockets the more the merrier
I don’t usually use pockets if they’re inside… I have a purse organizer instead. Outside, I like zippered pockets.
I like pockets for everything; big, little, zipper, open. Every kind!
i love zipper pockets.
I love a good sized internal zip pocket, to keep those hard to find items, but I also love a few small internal slip pockets so I can slip my phone or keys in and out easy 🙂
I like zippered pockets and a pocket on the outside is always a plus.
I love Anna’s work. I have several of her bags on my wish list.
I like to have as many pockets as possible. I love the outside pockets on the 241 tote most of all.
I love zipper pockets on the interior of the bag and a large pocket that snaps closed on the outside
I love all pockets. A bag really doesn’t feel complete to me without some sort of zippered pocket. I love patch pockets too and elasticized ones are very functional. The more the better!
I like zippered pockets on the outside, two smaller zippered pockets on the inside and some pouches inside for a phone and my favorite camera!
I like zippered pockets. However, on the outside of a bag, I like having a regular pocket. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I love an inside zipper pocket in all my bags. I also like pockets with elastic.
Zippered pockets!
I do know I like pockets. Uh, if I don’t know that there are names for different kinds of pockets, am I automatically disqualified?!
I love an outside zipper pocket & a couple of slip pockets sized just right for my phone & some other items, or if they’re on the outside, the slip pockets need to be nice & deep so my stuff doesn’t fall out!
I like zippered pockets so that things don’t fall out, willy nilly.
I like all kinds of pockets…my bags can never have enough!!
I like magnetic or zipper pockets on the outside and regular pockets on the inside. You can never have too many pockets in my book.
I love internal and external zippered pockets. I might be okay with an internal unzippered (say the right size for a phone, cos it’s good to be able to slip that in and out quickly) but I never use an external unzippered pocket. Too much of a chance I’ll lose something. Not to say I don’t like them as they still look pretty (like on the 241 bag).
Normally I’d love to have at least one zippered pocket (for important items) and patch pockets for easy access of train card or phone etc 🙂
In a bag pattern I like to have one inside zip pocket and a few slip pockets.
I have always admired Noodlehead’s poolside tote and their 2-4-1 bag. These would definitely be on my wish list if I won. Thanks for the giveaway!

zippers just to know that things are safe. Thanks for a chance to win.
Zip pockets are my favourite 🙂
I like a strip of interior pockets along one side,and an interior zippered pocket on the other side. Keeps some things very handy and others secure.
I love all kinds of pockets.. one zippered pocket and open pockets that i can get to easily..
Lots of them! Seriously, I like a zip pocket for things I don’t want to lose and an elastic pocket for when I want to stash a specific item in a spot I can find (eg my wireless mouse)
I like both zipped and open.
I like both types of pockets. Zippers for security, slip for fast and easy.
I like zipper pockets and slip pockets… some things I want easy access to (with a slip pocket) and some things I want to make sure are a little more secure with a zip pocket.

I like lots of pockets. I love bellows on the outside, and bound or elasticated on the inside. I love the look of internal zips but I hardly ever use them in a bag.
A zip on the inside and pockets for ID’s and cards that I need to get to quickly. Would love a tutorial on how to make a nice elastic topped pocket so stuff doesn’t slip out. Can’t figure that out!
zipper pockets on one side, divided pocket on the other. Thanks!

Lots and lots of pockets, inside and out!

I like easily accessible pockets. Not too deep, but deep enough that things don’t spill out.
Zipper pockets rock!
I normally only prefer the on the inside,but noodlehead has the only designs where I like them on the front since she incorporates them into the design.
I prefer slip pockets with an extra pocket for my pen.
I like all pockets except thin deep pockets where things inevitably get stuck in
I like loads of pockets inside and out but especially zipper pockets!

I love an outside pocket for keys and inner pockets on different sides of the purse for phone and lip gloss.
Definitely zippered pockets for cash/cards on the inside… large slip pockets for keys are good on the outside thought!
Usually just slip pockets but at least one zipper pocket is nice.
I love zippered pockets and I love all the bags shown. It would be hard to choose just 4 patterns. Thank you for the chance to win.
