This is Simplicity 2600. I used upholstery fabrics from Joann's and should have used a heavy-duty bag zipper. (I bet I'll have to replace the zip before midterms.) Sewing the bag took much longer than my usual bags, but most of that was because I am a space case and because the bag has a million little pieces and is constructed by creating your own quilted fabric (you can also buy pre-quilted fabric, which would make this go together much quicker), which takes ages.
I changed the pattern a little bit, omitting a few miles of the recommended bias tape that was supposed to cover every single seam.
Overall, I love the bag. It fits my laptop perfectly, with plenty of extra space for all the extra junk I carry everywhere. In fact, I have it with me right now as I type in a seriously overly air-conditioned coffee shops. Should have tossed in a sweater!
