Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I made this messenger bag out of old plastic bags. I just looked at some bags and made up my own pattern. Eventually I’ll line both the inside and the strap with some cheap cotton or something – just to help it support more weight. As it is, it stretches rather easily. Luckily my classes are spread out, so I can get away with just carrying around one textbook at a time!
This is the tutorial from Make magazine I used for fusing the bags:

Really cool idea. I hope you get your bag “strong” enough to carry more books :)

Also, these pictures were taken with my laptop camera which takes reverse-images for some reason. All the text is actually facing the right way and is readable.
