We've been bitten by the messenger bag bug. It's been so much fun to sew them up, then give them away. We've sewn a few for ourselves, too. And a few for friends.
So... we'd like to introduce to you marie-madeline studio's newest product category. That's right -- messenger bags!! We hope to make a bunch to add to the store over the next week or two. But if you'd rather not wait and would like to choose your own fabrics, drop us an email! Special thanks to all of you ladies who suggested adding messenger bags to our repertoire. As always, we love hearing your suggestions!
Abigail with the original "packie", way back in July of last year... just think about what we've gotten ourselves into now!
Anyway, we just wanted to drop in and say "hello!" We hope you all are having a lovely day, because we sure are. It's good to be together...
xoxo, the Long ladies
P.S. If you're a seamstress yourself -- and love this messenger bag -- don't be shy about printing out our handy tutorial! Happy sewing~
I'm working on my first messenger bag ever right now! I truly think it will be an addiction!!!

Those look so sweet! I can only imagine the abundance of these you will have soon! :)
I just wanted to let you ladies know what a blessing your blog/shop has been to me! last year I started a natural skin care business called Practical Simplicity (yes the same name as my blog) and left it somewhat open for other future items to be added that do not necessarily have to go with skin care. As you well know I am an avid sewer myself and have been since the age of 5 when my grandmother blessed me with her God given gift of sewing, and all of last year I have had LOTS of ladies young and old ask if I would consider selling any of my sewing projects! I have really been praying about it for some time now, and feel that the Lord is leading me to change my business a bit this year! I am so excited, and I have found your site to be an inspiration as to what I can do for mine soon! Again I would like to thank you ladies, and if you do not mind, I would LOVE to hear your story!? Would you mind if I did like a questionnaire/interview too for my blog? :)
Well, off to bed! :)
God bless,
Miss Antoinette

Hooray!! Messenger bags for sale! Thank you so much; I will definately order one if I can convince my mom that I need another bag. :) Seriously though, I would give away most my other bags to have one of these, and it would be put to good use. It would be great for church, carrying books, knitting projects, and so forth. Love it!
Thanks again,
~Annie~
