Bag out of Layena package (updated w tutorial)

[Mary Of Exeter]

I can't remember if I asked this and/or if there was an answer, but are there any tutorials on the messenger bags and other styles of bags?

I have not seen any.

Well that's depressing! I'm not sewing savy or confident enough to try to try it without some instructions

Ha!! I just sent this to my mother today and she said she was willing to give this a try!

Pretty bad when I am a grown woman and need my mommy to sew me something...

There I was sitting in the truck, waiting in line to get my chicken feed loaded and there outside my drivers window was their garbage.. Sitting on top was a very nice what looked to be empty feed sack for some sort of all breed feed. I asked if I could have it thinking.. hmmm, that would make a nice re-purposed bag.. I scored! It was full of more of the same all folded up. I bet that car behind me thought I was nuts dumpster diving... Ha! City slickers picking up a bag of dog food in their little car.

Not I just need to wash them up and trim them down.

I find that if I get them cut into my main pieces my DH leaves them alone because they don't look like a pile of bags needing to be burned.

You ppl who make these are awesome!

I may have to attempt that! Does anyone have an auction up on these??? LOL If you don't you SHOULD have for us who don't/can't sew for ourselves HAHA Mine would prob look pretty funny after I were done.​
