Lill Street Messenger by Bari J Ackerman

That gathered pocket on the outside is pure genius—I used it for my phone and keys and it holds everything securely. The instructions for the adjustable strap were clear enough that I even sewed it right the first time.

The strap adjustment is so easy to use, and the instructions for the gathered pocket were clear enough that I finished the whole bag in a weekend. My sewing skills are average, but this came together without any frustrating steps.

The adjustable strap instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I love how the gathered pocket adds a unique touch to the outside. This pattern is versatile enough to work as a stylish diaper bag when needed. A solid choice for any sewing project.
