Oliver + S Messenger bag

I finished up the Oliver + S Messenger Bag a few weeks ago and sent it off to my niece for her birthday last week!  Yet another project completed for Liesl Gibson's Little Things to Sew book.

I used a heavier weight cotton for the exterior fabric that was reinforced with interfacing - after dealing with the stiff seams and 'crunchy material, if I were to make it again I think I would try a different type of interfacing - the iron-on kind wasn't my fav for this project.

My favourite part of the bag is the inverted pleat for the front pockets...why didn't I think of that!  ;)

I hope you like your new bag, Dayna!
