Messenger bag pattern with zip closure
I don’t know about you but I’m a big fan of messenger bags. Large enough to use as a school or college bag, they can carry books, a laptop, other gadgets etc… I especially love having one with a zip closure to keep everything secure. This project from Heart of Mary gives you a professional looking bag which will securely hold your belongings.
