kinda hip (not like a traditional laptop case) She wants it open at the top and have the top fold over a couple of inches on the outside (I was thinking at an angle with pleats in a different color/lining color), very plain shoulder handle, pocket on the outside to hold cell phone, pens, etc and a couple things inside that I am not worried about creating. Oh, she wants the laptop to go into the bag the LONG way. So it will be taller than it is wide. I was hoping that in your travels some of y'all might have seen a pattern for one that I could look at to get some ideas. I'm not buying a pattern, just looking for ideas on different looks. If any of you know of any sites that have women's bags that might have pics of what I am interested looking for, can I ask you to please post the link so I can take a peek to get some more ideas.

Looks like the Cuties came through for you. Good luck and let us see what you finally do. Great to see you here.

Sounds like a great project. I just did a quick little Google search and it looks like most/all of them go the wide way not the tall/long way. But you could just get your ideas from any of these and turn it sideways.
#3 long way

Here's a free pattern for a Laptop Bag, to get you started.

This would be a good pattern just close the top open the end and add a flap . pockets or what ever. would not be hard to do .Or take the mesursments of the lap top and cut your own pattern . I did this whith a childs purse and it turned out really well .all I had was the with and higth and a discription of what the lady wanted.she was so happy with it.
