Project Fifty Nine: A Blue Messenger Bag

A few weeks ago I received an email from someone who had found my blog, loved my messenger bags, and wanted to commission me to make her one, how cool is that? I bounced around on a high all day, I’d never been asked to make something by a stranger before! I felt very privileged, so thank you Natalie, for liking what I do and for trusting me to make something you will like, it is such a compliment.

The requirements for the bag were that they be A4 size, have a agnetic clasp fastener, preferably be blue, with stripes on the outside and dots on the inside. I don’t often sew with blue and it was really fun shopping for the fabric for this bag, I found some wonderful blue and white striped heavy cotton that worked really well.
