Fabulous Messenger Bag pattern with great zipper techniques and the perfect amount of pockets. As with all of Natalie’s patterns, the directions are crystal clear and easy to follow.
Highly recommend!
A perfect travel companion. I made my bag with navy bonded nylon. This fabric was the best My bag is very professional looking. I just love it. I thought the bonded would be slippery,but it’s not it was very easy to work with. I lined my bag with Tula Pink.
