From betzwhite Etsy shop:

The Midtown Messenger is a versatile bag you’ll want to carry everyday. It’s got a classic messenger bag style with lots of extra details. The outer bag has front and back slip pockets and a flap that secures with 2 tuck catch closures. Under the flap is a recessed zipper for extra security and a padded tablet pocket inside. Make the Midtown Messenger with durable waxed canvas for a rugged look or repurpose a pair of jeans and a vintage table cloth for a one-of-a-kind bag.

My printable PDF instructions include color photographs, detailed diagrams, glossary and all the assembly directions you'll need to make the Midtown Messenger Bag (13 1/2” W x 10” H x 2 1/2” D). PDF pattern includes a special coloring page for you to play and experiment with fabric choices.

Skill Level: Eager Intermediate. If you’ve sewn from a sewing pattern before, completed several projects and are eager to try new techniques, you should be able to handle this project!
