Pattern Description: The Media Frenzy pattern booklet features a selection of camera bags,a GPS bag, camera strap, wallet, and tablet-size messenger bag. I made the Digital Messenger bag for my 12 year old who got an Android tablet for Christmas.

Pattern Sizing: The digital Messenger fits a 10" tablet, but that would be the upper limit without pattern alteration.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes - allowing for my changes

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes - very detailed

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This is a well-thought-out pattern.

geek approved

Fabric Used: Computer-themed cotton fabric, embellished with "Geek 4 life" embroidery from Urban Threads on green wool felt

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did a handle strap at DS's request instead of a longer strap. I also used a parachute buckle for the fastener since I had one in the stash. I also divided the inner layer of the outside pockets, but not the outer layer.

interior view

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes - sometime I need to do the camera bag and strap!

Conclusion: This is pattern I would recommend to anyone who has technology to protect.

Very nice and practical. It's hard to sew for son approval. Love the embroidery!
