I designed this women’s messenger bag especially for a list of needs I had that just weren’t found in other patterns. I needed a bag that was easy to carry and would hold everything I need when I ride my bike.A simple handbag would not do. I decided a crossbody was my first requirement, a special padded compartment for IPad a second. A pocket to store my headphones and enough room to carry other essentials we all have to bring with us as we head out. I love pockets so it definitely needed to have lots and lots of pockets.I think when you create your own version of this bag you will love the way the lining is installed. I use a unique method of installing the lining. This is NOT a drop-in lining bag pattern!
