Messenger bag . . .

Inbetween playing with my new GO! dies, I made this little messenger bag this week. I roughly used this tutorial which had a lot of good tips and made figuring out the measurements easy, but I left the strap as one piece.
The fabrics were part of a very generous envelope stuffed full of scraps and larger pieces from Sew Fresh Fabrics. The main print is from the Red Letter Day by Lizzy House, and the lining is a cotton/linen blend.
My girls LOVE this bag and I think it's the perfect overnight size or for packing all their stuff to entertain themselves on a long car ride to camping. And it was so quick to make, I think I could be persuaded to make some more for them . . .
