A lovely little messenger bag in a really useful size – it is big enough to fit all of your daily necessities plus a little bit more, and it is a simple design that is lightweight and easy to carry.

The main body and flap of the bag has been made from a pair of pale pink jeans. The front flap features a piece of matching pretty pink lace that was cut from a cute little lace top. I have cut the back panel from the rear of the jeans, so you get the back pocket for keys, card or phone (or whatever you like), and just to note, because these jeans have been worn, the pocket is not perfectly flat - despite my efforts with the iron.

It is lined with soft pink fabric cut from a doona cover. There is a slip pocket on the inside featuring a butterfly.

The strap is long and adjustable, so it can be worn across the body and sit it in the most comfortable position for you. The hardware is rose gold coloured.

Size: 25cm across the bottom, 20cm across the top and 19cm high, approximately 7cm deep front to back at the bottom.

This bag was made using the pattern for the Lilac Mini Messenger Bag, by Blue Calla Patterns.
