Sewing & Quilting: Handmade Laptop & Tablet Bags
There’s something extra special about creating your own fabric accessories – not only do they protect your devices, but they also let you carry a little piece of handmade cheer wherever you go. ✂️๐
Recently, I stitched up these padded laptop and tablet bags using a bright and fun Easter egg print fabric. The cheerful design makes them perfect for springtime, and the quilted padding keeps the devices safe and snug.
What You’ll Need
-
Cotton fabric (your choice of print – seasonal, floral, or even plain for a classic look)
-
Batting or fusible fleece for padding
-
Lining fabric
-
Sewing machine, thread, scissors, and pins
-
Measuring tape
Step-by-Step
-
Measure your device – laptop or tablet – then add about 1 inch on each side for seam allowance and padding.
-
Cut your pieces – outer fabric, lining, and batting.
-
Quilt the outer fabric and batting together for sturdiness.
-
Sew the bag panels right sides together, leaving the top open.
-
Add the lining – stitch around and turn inside out.
-
Finish the top edge neatly by folding over and topstitching.
And just like that, you’ve got a custom, quilted laptop or tablet bag! ๐
Variations
-
Add a button or Velcro closure for extra security.
-
Sew in a pocket for cords or pens.
-
Choose different fabrics for the seasons (florals for summer, cozy plaids for winter).
Here are the two I made – one for a tablet, one for a laptop:
(Insert your photos here – the two standing in front of the sewing machine look especially nice!)

Handmade Tote Bags: Bringing Simplicity 5535 "B" to Life
I recently finished sewing these beautiful tote bags inspired by the Simplicity 5535 pattern, version "B." I wanted to share the process and the final results because I’m really happy with how they turned out!
Choosing the Fabric
I opted for a striking combination of colorful gradient fabrics, mixing soft pinks, purples, and blues to give the bags a vibrant yet harmonious look. The contrast between the solid deep purple and the multi-hued gradient fabric really adds visual interest.
The Pattern: Simplicity 5535 "B"
This pattern is fantastic for creating versatile tote bags with large exterior pockets. The "B" variation offers a practical and stylish design, perfect for everyday use. The bag has both a roomy main compartment and a handy front pocket — great for organizing essentials.
Construction Highlights
- Handles and Straps: The sturdy straps are well-reinforced with neat square stitching for added durability.
- Exterior Pocket: The large front pocket in the matching gradient fabric gives a fun, playful twist and extra space.
- Colors and Style: I love how the gradient fabric’s color flow changes depending on which part of the bag you look at, especially with the two bags made in different dominant colors (one purple-focused, the other pink-focused).
Final Thoughts
Making these bags was a rewarding experience. The Simplicity 5535 "B" pattern is beginner-friendly yet produces professional-looking results. Whether for personal use or gifting, these tote bags are an excellent sewing project.
If you're thinking of trying your hand at making your own tote, I highly recommend this pattern and using vibrant fabrics to make your creations pop!

Piecing and Patchwork
Clippings from the Google AI Mode
- Selecting and preparing fabrics: Choose fabrics with complementary colors and patterns, cutting them into the required shapes and sizes for your desired design.
- Sewing the patches together: Stitch the fabric pieces together with a consistent seam allowance, usually 1/4 inch, either by hand or machine.
- Pressing the seams: Iron the seams flat after each stitch to reduce bulk and ensure your patchwork lays neatly.
- English Paper Piecing (EPP): A hand-sewing technique that uses paper shapes as a guide to create intricate designs. Fabric is folded around the paper templates (commonly hexagons, known as hexies) and then stitched together.
- Foundation Paper Piecing: A method used for joining small pieces of fabric to form complex patterns or designs. It utilizes foundation paper rather than templates for construction.
- Strip Piecing: Stitching strips of fabric together in repeating patterns and then joining the strips lengthwise to form larger pieces.
- Log Cabin
- Nine Patch
- Flying Geese
- Ohio Star
- Half-Square Triangles
- Quarter-Square Triangles
ChatGPT said:
Patchwork piecing sewing is a quilting technique where small pieces of fabric—often called patches—are sewn together to form a larger design, usually a quilt top. It can range from simple geometric patterns to intricate, artistic layouts.
Here’s a basic overview to get you started:
๐งต What You Need:
-
Fabric scraps or pre-cut fabric (like charm packs, jelly rolls, etc.)
-
Rotary cutter, cutting mat, and ruler
-
Sewing machine (or needle and thread for hand sewing)
-
Iron and ironing board
-
Thread (cotton is common)
-
Pins or clips
✂️ Basic Steps:
-
Choose a Pattern
Start with something simple like:-
Four-patch
-
Nine-patch
-
Half-square triangles (HSTs)
-
Log cabin
-
-
Cut Your Fabric
Use a rotary cutter and ruler for precise pieces. Consistent size is key for accurate seams. -
Arrange the Pieces
Lay out your blocks on a flat surface or design wall to decide on placement and color flow. -
Sew the Pieces Together
-
Use a 1/4" seam allowance (a quarter-inch foot can help).
-
Chain piecing speeds up the process.
-
-
Press the Seams
-
Press to one side or open, depending on the pattern and your preference.
-
Pressing sets the seams and reduces bulk.
-
-
Join the Blocks
Once your smaller units are complete, sew them together to form larger sections, then the whole top.
๐งฉ Techniques & Variations:
-
Foundation paper piecing: For precise, complex designs.
-
English paper piecing (EPP): Hand-sewn, great for portability and intricate shapes (like hexagons).
-
Strip piecing: Sew long strips together, then cut into units—great for speed and consistency.
๐จ Tips:
-
Stick with high-contrast fabrics to make patterns pop.
-
Pre-wash your fabric to prevent shrinkage or bleeding.
-
Use starch to keep fabric crisp for cutting and sewing.
-
Practice accuracy—even small misalignments can grow over time.
Examples of Piecing in Patchwork!
4 4 x 4 inch squares pieced together with 3 being decorative pattern and 1 plain. Take one of the decorative patterns and cut into triangle shape and the same with the plain. Then piece together one of each with the other to form one side decorative and the other plain.
