I made the large size messenger bag to use as my son's diaper bag. A lady actually walked up to me and wanted to buy it right on the spot! It was monogrammed with my son's name, which happened to be the same name as her grandson, and she loved the bag! I was very flattered, but couldn't sell it since we were out shopping and on to have a way to carry his stuff! However, I've made several since then for baby shower gifts, and they are always well received! Great pattern!

I have made this bag three times now, and it's great. I used deco weight fabric for the purses, and for my diaper bag, and I appliqued on the flap. Super easy, and I love the results. I would reccomend!

Wonderful bag pattern! The author is super in answering any questions about the pattern, too. Great for a beginner!

Great fun and easy bag to make. My 9 year old even makes them with a little help and instruction. Of course they are a hit as gifts with her friends.

I just finished my first messenger bag and i am so proud of myself. I made the small size for my first one and it turned out great. The directions were very easy to understand. When I had a question she was very quick to get back to me with the answer. I can't wait to make hte other two sizes. I have never made any kind of bag before this. I highly reccomend these instructions.
