Pockets
I have Android Tablets. For some reason, the patterns I have found for sleeves and bags simply do not take into account wall chargers, car chargers, and other accessories. Where can I find information on making pockets to add to a quilted bag that WILL hold all this stuff? I can make flat type pockets, but how about pockets like cargo pants use, etc? What would you interface/line with so pocket wouldn't be too bulky and look good on a quilted bag?

You could also use a heavy fusible interfacing to line pockets. It would stiffen them a little to make them sturdier for holding the accessories without being too bulky or heavy.

I need instructions on how to add tucks. Tucks to me usually mean pintucks a la heirloom. I have a good idea, but measurements are shaky. How much can you safely add before pocket overwhelms bag? I could actually use patterns and instructions. Flannel sounds good. Thanks

Also the pile measurements of your accessories as I stated in the PM I sent you.
Also do you want it to zipper close or have a flap with velcro?
And do you want a strap on it?
I will make a pattern and send it to you.
Then I can alter the pattern to make my niece a bag for her nook or kindle (can't remember which she has)
You could also line with fleece. It would be really soft and a little thick to protect the tablet.

I think I'd add a pocket at the side that a container of some sort would fit into so that the accesories have some protection. Maybe a tennis ball tube with the snap on lid. I would worry that any pocket added to the front or back when filled with the odd shaped accesories might damage the tablet?
