Rose–A Messenger Bag

For the past couple of weeks, I have been thinking about designing a bag, then writing instructions.  So finally, I put the design to paper, did a couple of test bags and then the hard part….. writing instructions.  Publisher was a great asset in illustrations.

So let me present hopefully what will become Rose a pattern from Girls in the Garden Pattern Company. 


Now the back is the feature I really wanted in a bag

Then add a cute fastener for the strap


The bag is 10 x 12 x 3.
I have written the instructions, added illustrations and read through it several times,hoping it is all clear and concise.  Next step is pattern testers, which I think five would be a good number.  If this is something that would interest you, email me and I will send you the pattern instructions.

Update:  Thank you for the responses, I have enough pattern testers.  I do need Maureen to email me, you were one of the first ones to ask to pattern test but you are a non-reply commenter, so I could not email you the pattern.
