Messenger Bag FREE Sewing Tutorial

Thrown over one shoulder or slung across the body, a messenger bag is both practical and pretty. This one is made out of sturdy canvas, with an inner lip for extra security, weather-proofing and style. It’s a great all-rounder for any occasion, roomy enough for all your essentials (and more!), and the simple shape means that men will like it, too.

• Canvas weight outer fabric – 0.5m of fabric 150cm wide
• Cotton lining fabric – 0.5m of fabric 114cm wide
• Medium-weight iron-on interfacing – approx 106cm x 46cm
