There are several Work in Progress (WIP) projects in my sewing room, and this evening I am happy to say there is one less! The messenger bag started a month ago was completed today.

This morning the project looked like this...

...and by this afternoon -- A Messenger Bag!
The bag above is the second messenger bag I've made. The first one was made as part of the Zakka Sew-along, and looked like this...

| Messenger Bag #1 |
For Bag #2 I found a gray linen fabric at my local thrift store. The linen was quite thin so I fused it to a heavy-duty fabric to give it body. For the lining and front design I paired it with a fun print from a line called Everything But The Kitchen Sink, by RJR Fabrics. I chose a hexi design rather than the leaves for this one, and really like how it came out.

| The back -- I split the back pocket on this one. On the first bag I felt it was too much of an open pocket. This seems to work much better. |

Colorful inside!

| Yep! I blurred the edges so you could not see the dust on the mirror! :) After all -- when sewing, who has time to dust? |
Very nice!
ReplyDeletelovely bag! The part about having too much sewing to do to have time to dust made me laugh out loud! I can identify!
