More refashioning

I've been meaning to make the kids a messenger bag each that they can take with them when we go out for walks. I didn't want them too big, but large enough to pop their water bottle in along with some paper and pens or any items they find while out and about.

Nathan's has been made from a bag I made a few years back. The original bag was a refashion from an old linen skirt of my mums. I repositioned the straps to make it messenger style, added a flap and lining (used more of my hessian stash for that). The pocket and belt loops from the original skirt placed on the inside of the flap were an after thought but work well.
