Purse Palooza :: Giveaway : Noodlehead

pursepalooza2014

This post is part of Purse Palooza. For contest rules, full details, and schedule, please click here!

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 Super Tote is such an incredibly versatile bag and makes a perfect diaper bag, gym tote or even just an everyday bag. It’s finished size  measures: 15” wide, 15” tall, 3.5 to 5” deep, 10.5” handle drop, and with a HUGE exterior slip pocket and interior elastic pocket, you can stash everything you need and more in this bag. The top has a recessed zipper closure to keep everything secured inside.

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).

The sidekick tote pattern is such a great bag!  The exterior pocket is just perfect. If you haven’t carried a bag without an exterior pocket, you just NEED one. It’s a perfect spot to stash your phone, keys, and even a pair of sunglasses. Make it patchwork or use a single print, it’s beautiful either way. Best of all, the recessed zipper keeps everything safely inside. Wear it over your shoulder or cross-body style, the adjustable strap lets you choose. Great for those busy days of errand running or kid chasing!

  1. I like zipper pockets, they make me feel secure about phone, keys…

  2. hearts4homeschooling says:

    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!

  3. Mary Jo says:

    Love the sidekick tote! It would be great to win it.

  4. Donna W says:

    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.

    Also, I’m such a fan of Anna’s patterns! I’ve made 3 already and would love to make more.

  19. Margo says:

    Zipper pockets! They feel so secure. Noodlehead patterns are some of my favorites, but I don’t yet have them all! 🙂

  33. Christina says:

    Zipper Pockets for sure!

  34. Lisa Marie says:

    Al ways an inside zip pocket

  39. Norma says:

    I like a bit of all of them, flapped, zippered, slip, big, small….

  40. Carla G says:

    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. 🙂

  41. Christina says:

    I like a mix of zipper pockets and just slip pockets.

  42. Sarah Jane says:

    Zippered pockets are my favourite, followed closely by pockets with flaps and closures!

    gotta have at least one zipper pocket for security and then a slip pocket for my cell phone and one for my keys

  48. linda says:

    I like zipped pockets

  49. Ellee says:

    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.

  50. Catherine says:

    I like open exterior and zipped interior pockets.

  51. Jordan L says:

    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!

  52. I love all kinds of pockets!!!

  53. I love outside zipper pockets on my bags.

  54. Virginia says:

    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.

  55. amy cav says:

    I like a pocket that is easy to get into and will hold my chapstick and phone – the two things I use most!!!

  56. SonJa says:

    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!

  57. Indianna says:

    I love a zip pocket for all my bits and pieces.

  58. Mara says:

    a zippered pocket

  59. DreiPunkteWerk says:

    I really need pockets with a zipper!

  60. Heather says:

    My favorite type of pocket is a slip pocket, mostly a bunch of slip pockets along each side.

  61. Jennifer says:

    It’s nice to have at least one zip pocket, but mostly I like open pockets and lots of them!

  62. barbara woods says:

    doesn’t matter just a lot

  63. Lee says:

    I love zippers and dividers!

  64. Karen says:

    Zipper pockets mostly. But…starting to play with elastic ones too.

  65. Becky N. says:

    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.

  66. Gidget says:

    I’m a clutz I need zippers

  67. Judy Cinerari says:

    Definitely zip pockets for my bags.

  68. Laura Downs says:

    I only use outside pockets if they zip. Inside could be open or zip.

  69. Cindy says:

    I like basic slip pockets, no zips. I’m always in a hurry!

  70. Claire corry says:

    I love a zipped pocket and lots of them.

  71. hannlib says:

    Zip pockets, keep things safe!

  72. Molly K says:

    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.

  73. 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!!

  74. Kirsten says:

    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!!

  75. Amanda Ashton says:

    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.

  76. lucilledupuis says:

    I like all pockets, but water bottle pockets on bag ends are so practical.

  77. Niki says:

    I love love love internal zipper pockets. Can’t do without them!

  78. duchick says:

    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.

  79. Margareth says:

    Slip pockets over the width of the bag, zippered pockets only on front or back of the bag.

  80. Susan K in Texas says:

    zipper pockets are the best!

  81. lovemyboxers says:

    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!

  82. Lori Morton says:

    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!!!)

  83. Love the exterior phone pockets!

  84. I love hidden pockets in unexpected places. Mostly I love slash or slot pockets.

  85. Patti McGarry says:

    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!

  86. Marcia O says:

    Zipper pockets and MUST have the exterior cell phone pocket that will fit my new iPhone 6 plus

  87. Susan says:

    Zippered pockets are always nice.

  88. Carrie says:

    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.

  89. Judy McKee says:

    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)

  90. Amy S says:

    I always prefer a combination of zippered and slip pockets, both inside and outside bags.

  91. CK says:

    I love zippered pockets and always add them, but I have to have a slip pocket for my phone and an extra for sunglases.

  92. I always do a slip pocket for easy phone access. Sometimes zipper ones for secure stashing

  93. Kathy Luehrs says:

    i love pockets the more the merrier

  94. wdhandbags says:

    I don’t usually use pockets if they’re inside… I have a purse organizer instead. Outside, I like zippered pockets.

  95. Sarah says:

    I like pockets for everything; big, little, zipper, open. Every kind!

  96. Mary says:

    i love zipper pockets.

  97. Caitlin Anderson says:

    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 🙂

  98. Marie says:

    I like zippered pockets and a pocket on the outside is always a plus.

  99. Joelle says:

    I love Anna’s work. I have several of her bags on my wish list.

  100. Heather Crook says:

    I like to have as many pockets as possible. I love the outside pockets on the 241 tote most of all.

  101. katieQ says:

    I love zipper pockets on the interior of the bag and a large pocket that snaps closed on the outside

  102. Betsy N says:

    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!

  103. Linda Fleming says:

    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!

  104. Lisa E says:

    I like zippered pockets. However, on the outside of a bag, I like having a regular pocket. Thanks for the great giveaway.

  105. Shelly Jack says:

    I love an inside zipper pocket in all my bags. I also like pockets with elastic.

  106. M says:

    Zippered pockets!

  107. Marisa says:

    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?!

  108. Amy K. says:

    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!

  109. Beth T. says:

    I like zippered pockets so that things don’t fall out, willy nilly.

  110. I like all kinds of pockets…my bags can never have enough!!

  111. Chris says:

    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.

  112. 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).

  113. MommyAfa says:

    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 🙂

  137. Mokki says:

  138. Gayle S says:

    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!
