Tutorial: Make this messenger bag from 1 yard of fabric

Caroline from Sew Can She shows how you can sew up this messenger from just one yard of fabric. And she follows that post with one that gives dimensions to make the same style bag – but smaller – and get two bags from just the one yard of fabric! The bag is made tall so the top can fold over to be the flap – so no zippers or other closures required! See how to make the bag at Sew Can She.
