The Messenger Bag

Join us in sewing up a simple and eye-catching messenger bag. This cross-body bag features an inside divided pocket and a flap closure (no zipper or Velcro makes this an easy project). In this class you will work with fusible fleece and fusible interfacing, as well as construct a lining and some simple patchwork. A walking foot is essential!

Finished size of the messenger bag: 10.5" x 10.5"
