Before I went on holiday I made a start on a Messenger Bag, and yesterday I got it finished.
Approx. 12" x 14" x 2.5" |
A good friend had shared some of her fabric winnings with me last year, and these were just the perfect pinks I needed.
I've been asked a few times now to teach a messenger bag in class. There are quite a few stages to making this style of bag, but I think this one is a 'simple' enough design without looking too simplistic (if you get my drift!!).
So this one will soon be flying its way to the south of England.
Hope you're having a great start to the new week!
Lovely bag jude :-)
