Messenger Bag

A few weeks ago I decided to try out this messenger bag tutorial, and found that it was pretty easy. It took a while to pick out the fabric (this won't surprise anyone who has been shopping with me), but in the end I think I got a great combination. I guess I forgot to take a picture of the inside, but it's a nice textured beige. I added a giant bow because I made this for Kyra, who is on a mission, and who is also a fashionista. I could tell she was a little apprehensive when I said I wanted to make a messenger bag, but the bow jazzed things up nicely, wouldn't you say?

Kyra has the bag - she laughed that I used bird fabric, but what can I say? It's cute fabric! She knows she loves it.

By the way, here is Kyra's mission blog, where you can read her weekly emails
