Plaid Messenger Bag

Hello! Not much to say here, and not much knitting going on. I did manage to knit an entire cardigan that did not fit, that was plenty discouraging. I sewed one last handbag for the season, a messenger bag appropriate for winter! I found some amazing plaid wool at Knittn Kitten for $4.90 for a little over a yard, which complemented a lining I bought from the sale bin at Bolt a month earlier. I already had a suitable zipper at my disposal; the buttons at Button Emporium (I bought them at the same time I bought the buttons for the cardigan that does not fit). There were some “gotchas” when it came to assembling the messenger bag that haven’t been present in my previous totes, but I can’t seem to articulate them. I’m really happy with the way the bag came out!
