Adam designed this messenger bag specifically for men as he feels there's a shortage of men's bag sewing patterns to choose from. But let's be honest, change up the fabrics and you'll have a bag that most people would love to be seen carrying! This large messenger bag is great for carrying a tablet, small computer, wallet and other necessities. It’s a neutral bag that can be dressed up or down depending on the fabrics you use. We recommend this as an advanced sewing pattern due to the curved zip, but we walk you through every step in the photo instructions and also in the video tutorial. You should have bag making experience before giving this a go.
