Amy Butler Messenger Bag Completed!!!

I started this project six months ago, and I finished it today--on Labor Day!


What a relief to finally get this done.  After all is said and done,  I'd do it again....  


The pattern was pretty easy to follow;
however I did find myself reading and re-reading an awful lot.

Great Bag.  You did a wonderful job.  I have wanted to make one of these, but haven't got the nerve yet.  Your kitty could be my kitties cousin.  They look just alike.  And mine likes to get in the middle of everything too.

Great job!  Love your fabric choice for the lining.

Lovely bag and yes the lining is very pretty good on you for finishing it

What a wonderful bag, and a cute kitty. I love the fabric combination.
Thank you for the inspiration, on my way to buy the pattern...

First, I LOVE the cat! 

Secondly, the bag is to die for!  Great job. 

Such a wonderful bag! Thats a wonderful way to spend Labor Day.

Looks great, I made one too,  actually I've made 3 now, they get easier,  I remember the 1st time I made one I kept re-reading the pattern too,  I found if I put little tags saying what each piece was it made it alot easier.

You did a fantastic job!

Looks great.  I love it when a neutral fabric is paired with something bright and fun on the inside.  Very nice.

That looks fantastic.  I love the lining fabric...a little unexpected shot of color always makes things better.

Awesome job!  I was pretty intimidated by all the pieces, but the instructions are really clear.  Love the lining!
