bags of Japanese fun!

I was browsing various blogs the other night when I came across a fabulous couple of bags that Maria had made from the most fantastic tutorial here. I'm in the market for a new messenger bag for when I'm shopping and need my hands free (my Miche is my everyday bag but the short handles mean there's often a hand keeping it on my shoulder) and I loved the design of this. So I rummaged and found some fabulous Kokka fabric I had bought in the spring just because I loved it. I knew it would make a brilliant bag!

Hee!! The tutorial is absolutely fantastic. There's a pocket on the back and one on the inside for phones and keys. I haven't decided on a fastening, yet. I think some of Sooz's iron-on velcro may be just the ticket! 

Geez, I'm using Blogger's new editor to write this, it's all over the place! Gah. Anyway, make this bag, it is fantastic!
