Summer messenger bag

This was made for a special order. My brief was blues and a beach/sea/summer theme. It was a fun challenge for me to make something for a grown up as I've become so used to making thing for kids! I used some antique linen and cotton fabrics of which some are vintage. I then finished off the bag with some hand applique and embroidery. Ireally enjoyed making this bag and may have to develop some more ideas!
