How to make a messenger bag in 32 minutes — by Guest Mom Amy Smart

April 16, 2009




Today I want to share another simple, beginning sewing project you can make with your kids or for yourself. This is what we are giving our friends for birthday presents this year. It’s even cool enough for boys because it’s a messenger bag (not to be confused with a man purse!).


Come visit me here to learn how. I promise that you can do this in about 30 minutes. Maybe a little more if you’re still getting your sewing groove on, but you’ll feel like a pro when you’ve done it. We made this cowboy version Sunday afternoon. Even though I did all the sewing in this case, my 5-year-old felt immediately connected and proud of the bag after watching me make it for him. (Which he literally did every minute I was working.)
