1. Cut one piece of the exterior fabric and one piece of the lining 20" wide and 36" long.
2. Apply the heavy weight fusible interfacing to the exterior fabric according the manufacturer's instructions. Do the same with the light weight interfacing and the lining.

Trim the excess interfacing when you are finished.
3. To make the body of the bag, fold one end of the bag over 12 1/2". Finger press the seam flat.

beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
cool! :)
I like your choice of fabrics and it's a very easy tutorial to follow. VERY cool!!!
I think I could fit an iPad in that!
Now to find some orcs, trolls, or dragon fabric to go with it. This is a great tutorial and it makes it look so simple.
Too funny. I just bought this camera fabric for my son and was browsing messenger bag tutorials. Great tutorial and taste in fabric :)
Great tutorial - thanks!
I will definitely need to make one of these!!!
Love the camera fabric, btw!
I LOVE this tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing. Very clever on how you came up with leaving the opening in the lining for when you need to turn the bag right side out. I made one for my daughter, one for her American Girl doll and one for me. We're going to NYC next week so we needed something 'cool' to carry or stuff in when we visit the American Girl store. (Mine doesn't not match my daughters - that would not be 'cool'). Thanks again for the great tutorial!
Too adorable!!! This is the FIRST messenger bag that I actually liked enough to consider making. The size is perfect. I will try this one day soon hopefully!
What a great, easy-to-sew bag! Thanks for the super tutorial!
This messenger bag is wonderful and easy to make. I will using it to teach young teens at the community centers to make for "Mother's Day Gifts". I needed a bag they could make in a two hr. time period...I just made a sample to show them...EASY...FAST...FANTASTIC..Thanks for the tutorial.
Just found the project I have been saving out of style leather trenchcoat for. Thanx!
