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.
