WHAT a PAIN in the TUSH!!! This Amy Butler High Street Messenger Bag took me about 9 months to make. It cost me $50 in fabric and notions (materials) and that was WITH a sale/coupon. Plus, I had to rip it apart SEVERAL times. I cut the original pattern WRONG and spent most of the time trying to figure that out. You need to be COMPLETELY lucid when you cut the pattern as too many of them are re-using the same pattern piece with this tucked under here or folded or whatever. I sewed it sideways until step 7 of 12 and had to start over!!! (TWICE!!) I'm so glad it's done. I'll have to put it away for a year or 2 before I bring that one out again (but I'm worried that I'll forget what I did wrong and do it all wrong again :(...I'm just so happy to have the bag FINALLY. It is NOT worth the wait but I still like it a lot. My next bag will be MUCH simpler ...(http://www.bhg.com/crafts/sewing/accessories/six-pocket-bag/?page=1). Now if I can find the time to get to JoAnn's for some fabric...
