Aivilo Pocket Messenger Bag - Make Your Own in 3 Sizes
These very easy instructions are great for those with basic to advanced sewing skills. There are 24 full-color photos to illustrate the simple step-by-step instructions, and I'm available to answer any questions you may have via email. I have included cutting instructions for use with a rotary cutter, or you can make a pattern easily using poster board.

As functional as it is beautiful, this bag features both interior and exterior pockets to hold all of your important items! The interior is fully lined and customizable interior pockets are great for holding your cell phone, a spare pen (don't you hate it when you can't find a pen?), and your wallet - or whatever else you choose to store! Pocket placement is fully customizable - you decide how many pockets you want, and what size to make them! This bag even features a handy swivel hook key fob - imagine no more digging through the bottom of your bag for your keys! A velcro closure is a convenient way to keep contents secure.

These instructions come with another great feature - you can make three different sized bags with it! The small bag works great as a purse, the medium bag is a wonderful large purse or small diaper bag, and the large bag makes a perfect diaper bag, or book bag.

Finished dimensions are:
Small bag - 11” wide x 7 ½” tall x 3” deep
Medium bag – 14” x 10” x 3 ½”
Large bag – 17” x 12 ½” x 4”

Specific skills you will learn with this project include basic bag construction including adding a flap, inserting a magnetic snap closure, and making pockets.
 
Materials needed: fabric, interfacing, swivel hook, velcro or magnetic snap closure, erasable pen and thread.
