Out of need and with PLENTY of scrap fabric, I made this easy- squeezy messenger bag. The fabric came from an old, Omaha decorator who has since past away. I
modified this pattern by: adding a gusset, making it slightly bigger, leaving out the applique and changing the strap a bit. The fabrics I acquired are cooler than hell!! They smell like yack, probably because they were in a basement for 50 odd years, but the patterns, weight, and quality of fabric were pretty impressive. I wouldn't look too close at the workmanship, I slammed it together rather quickly..... I also made another bag that isn't quite finished, but today I need to NOT dick around and actually do something that might conceivably make me some money. What a concept.
