Large messenger bag with front zipper pocket - sewing tutorial

12/7/2019

Large Messenger Bag with front zipper pocket
I have been wanting to make a larger size messenger bag that is more structured, thus able to carry heavier items such as books, tablets, diapers, wipes, my kid's toys, etc, yet still looking chic and feminine hence I designed this bag and of course share the adventure of the making with you.
For this bag we will use some 2.5" strips, I used some jelly roll strips that I have laying around (you can also cut from your scraps).
I also added a front zipper pocket to store my phone, and of course some internal pockets (3 zipper pockets & 1 slip pocket)
