Tutorial: Slim messenger bag, padded to hold a laptop or tablet

by

slimmessengerThis slim messenger bag would be great back-t0-school for older kids.  Sew4Home share a tutorial showing how to make it.  Even though it is narrower than most messenger bags, it’s still big enough to hold a small laptop, eReader, or tablet.  Foam padding between the outer and the lining gives it shaping and also protects your electronics from small bumps.  Finished dimensions are 12″ high x 10″ wide x 2½” deep.
