Have you been looking for a nice new bag for spring? Maybe this Mini Messenger Bag will suit your needs:
This small messenger bag is an ideal place to carry your wallet, phone, a few books or a tablet, and other bits and pieces to get you through your day. In the pattern you will find the following features:
- Front patch pocket with darts
- Internal patch pocket
- Magnetic snap closures on both the flap and internal pocket
- Adjustable strap
Suitable for quilting cotton, pincord (as pictured) or even home decor weight fabrics, this little bag is very versatile.
Finished size: 9″ wide x 9″ high x 3″ deep
My lovely pattern testers have been very busy over the last few weeks checking all my destructions and coming up with their own fabulous versions:
Becky, chose fabric with the perfect sunbursts for spring:
I love the dreamcatcher and arrow combo on Fiona’s version:
Helen looks to be planning quite the trip with hers – I wonder if she’ll take me too?:
Jeneta chose a fun print reminiscent of an old fashioned newspaper:
Katie made hers, covered in Disney villains, for a swap, hope her partner likes it! I’m rather fond of the mini behind it too…
Linda used some fun Ikea fabric for the outside of hers, I think I might need to make a trip there when I’m back at work next week…
I love the bright, cheery colours that Louise chose for her bag:
Mary made a beautiful choice of Melody Miller big prints for her bag, I’m always so afraid to use mine, I think she’s inspired me to break it out more!
Monica looks like she has a good deal of reading ahead of her, hope it’s a good one!
Sue made a beautiful job of her version out of Cotton + Steel, I’m super impressed with arrows on the flap and the outer pocket lining up!
And finally, Tamara went with an improv patchwork exterior, it looks like her daughter loves it already:

What a great selection – well done to both you and all the testers.
Having made the large messenger bag I should be able for the mini . Would be perfect for my camera kindle etc. will check this out after Easter
Yay what a lot of great bags (my fabrics are Melody Miller rather than Echino but you had me unsure for a minute!)
I very nearly used the same fabric … in the end I just cut the red star section out. Great pattern and I'm already using my bag x
Congratulations on another pattern. This is such a lovely size for a bag and I love that pocket at the snap.
Very nice and so much fun to see all the variety of fabrics chosen.
best of luck with the pattern launch. It was a great pattern to use and he bag is a really good size. Lots of inspiration now as well from seeing what fabrics everyone else used.
It looks like a wonderful bag, and a super treat to see all the various fabrics!
Your testers have certainly done your pattern proud!
They all look great! What a nice size for just going out and about…leaving a huge bag at home!:)
Another great pattern – I love the pocket under the flap!
