One can never have enough bags! Continuing the bag posting, here is my own - Texas messenger bag -
pattern via Amy Butler. I wanted a bag that fit my ipad and conference materials not to mention miscellaneous cables for when I presented. I like that this one also had the zipper for money, badge and cell phone. Not sure if I'm going to also carry my purse or just this bag ... hmmm.
I made several alterations to the pattern -
- I only included one zipper. (There are actually an additional 2 that I did not include.)
- The bag also had many more pockets. I chose to keep the inside, pocket-less and just did the outer pocket, pictured on the right.
- I used moda canvas - the polka dot. The bag is sturdy without being too stiff.
- I altered how I attached the strap - if I had kept the original pattern directions, the strap would have had to be much longer.
I'm not sure who Amy's model was - see link above, but she must be incredibly small. Please see my picture with the bag below.
I LOVE the way it turned out! Now share the pattern with me! I agree- one can NEVER have too many bags! I think this would be the perfect Elk Horn bag!
