This is the first bag I made.  It is a messenger bag I made for my youngest daughter for school last year.
 
It is pretty rustic.  I didn't line the bag body but I did line the flap with blue jean so when the flap is lifted you see blue jean on the underside. 
It was made from this blue jean skirt below, and a piece of cotton (quilt weight) material that I had bought a while back because I liked it and it was on clearance.  The strap and the binding on the top front of the bag was a tie from a satin shirt of mine

My daughter has already worn a hole in the bottom from dragging it instead of wearing it .  I guess I get to make her a new bag for school this year.  I have learned so much since I made this last year, not just about sewing but also taking picture of my creations..  Her new bag will be much better.  I will post it when it is complete.
