Stylish "Messenger" Bag

Admirable and practical, this messenger bag is the perfect size for carrying everything you need without being too big or too small. This bag can be used for various purposes including diaper bag, camera bag, book bag, supply bag among many other options that would work for you.

This cute bag was a learning process for me as I had never done this pattern before. I got a great deal with the package that came with enough fabric to do two of the four projects offered.


I went through the instructions carefully and was able to cut all the pieces within an hour. One hour is a long time to cut all the parts but I did not have enough fabric that would leave room for error. While going through the cutting process I even came a cross the first of three errors in the instruction. I was a little disappointed with running into these errors but I fixed them.


In spite of the tedious process and MANY hours this bag required, it came together nicely. I enjoyed seeing the pieces come together to form this stylish bag.

The inside includes three pockets that are perfect for keys, cellphone or other small items.

As you can see, the bag is spacious inside. I was able to place a water bottle, a book and a wallet with plenty of room to spare.

The back of the bag has two nice size pockets for extra storage.

The finished product is a beautiful and classy 12 1/2 X 13 X 3 1/2 bag ready to have an owner that will walk in style.
