A collective design, The Journey Bag, came to life over a series of 6 weeks in the Summer of 2021 through the efforts and talents of the greater Sewspire YouTube Community and the Sewspire Patreon Family.

--This beautiful bag is spacious and perfect for men or women. The uniquely tapered silhouette offers interest and minimizes the boxy shape that is typical of messenger style bags.

--Outside there are 4 wide divided slip pockets. The photos in this listing depict Option A-whole pockets (the brown bag) and Option B-panel pockets (the blue bag).

--Inside there is a 2 way divided interior elasticized pocket and a full length zipper pocket with swivel key fob.

--The bag closes via a recessed zipper.

--The double handles can be crafted from ready made strapping or fabric.

--The optional adjustable messenger strap allows the bag to be worn crossbody or over the shoulder and can be removed when not in use.

In addition to this concisely written condensed 4 page PDF tutorial there is a 5 hour recording of our live sew together in which you can reference specific steps in this process. Time stamps are coming soon so you can find exactly what you need FAST!
