story: this time a bag for myself. it’s great to be able to sew things you always wanted but never found in the shops 🙂 i finished the messenger bag in one go (cut and prepared the fabric the night before): started at 7pm and finished the bag at 0:30am!
outer fabric: tweed / „fischgrat“ fabric i got in the sale at Karstadt
lining fabric: dotted / polka dot fabric from IKEA
specialities: ironed on interfacing on the handles and all the outer fabric. zipper pocket (my first zipper!), mobile pocket and snap fasteners to close the bag. i thought about putting patches or something on the flap, but i want to wear the bag to work so i better leave it at that…

That has to be the perfect bag, I really want to make one like that for winter too. Well done xo
Ooh, very nice! It looks really nicely finished – something I never manage! 🙂 x
