meteor messenger

I had the rare privilege of a weekend afternoon of uninterrupted time as the young prince went to his first football match with friends. So I got to making this cute little messenger bag for my cousin's 12th Birthday. I have been thinking out how to make it all week and I think it turned out really well.I used a black drill and the rest is sling off-cuts. I just adore the fabric on the front its called meteor on the selvage and its close to my favourite of the retro screen prints I've come across.

I lined it with another off cut, stripey gelatti for the main part and yellow for the flap. I'm really happy with the end result it was one of those great moments of the outcome exceeding what I had envisaged.


I hope the recipient is equally impressed.
