Messenger bag


I wanted to try a messenger style bag and had some upholestry leather that I thought would work for one for the warmer weather.   I used Arther Porter's you tube videos on how to make a messenger bag as a starting point.  This bag is unlined.



Parts of the bag in progress.

Back of bag with pocket.


I used a belt buckle without the tongue for my closure. The other buckles I got from a thrift store purse.


I have to be more careful with my stitching but I am really pleased with how this came together.
