Free pattern: Oval messenger bag

Remona from The Stitching Scientist shares a free pattern for making her Oval Messenger Bag. The egg shaped bag has asymmetrical swoosh pocket on the front. Make it from two contrasting fabrics to show off the beautiful curves of the pieced front. The top is left open, but if you feel the need for a closure you could adapt the pattern to allow for a closure of your choice. Go to The Stitching Scientist for the pattern and tutorial.
