messenger bag problem

:yarn: hiii besties
okay so i need to say this real quick:
i wanna make a MESSENGER BAG. like badly. like i’m actually on the verge of unraveling my own hoodie and turning it into yarn if i can’t find a good one soon :skull:

but here’s the problem…

i’ve looked everywhere. i’ve scrolled ribblr, pinterest, random blogs, youtube, and even the weird crochet corners of the internet no one talks about… and nothing is what i’m looking for :sob:

it’s either too basic, way too confusing, shaped like a grocery tote (no hate but… not the vibe), or it has no lining and flops like a sad pancake.

i need something FREE (important)
something cute
something that can hold snacks, a notebook, maybe even a small plushie or two :eyes:
and something i won’t rage quit halfway through :sweat_smile:

if anyone has a good free messenger bag pattern — like a real one, not one that’s just a rectangle folded in half lol — pleaaaase tag it, send it, scream it at me, idc. i’m desperate over here :love_letter:

also if you’ve made one before, i wanna seeee!!! i’m dying for inspo and cool yarn combos too :heart_hands:

I know that some of you have made them b4 as well so could you please link that pattern?

k love u bye

If you have trouble with it keeping shape, maybe you could put a piece of cardboard or something in the bottom. Like how the reuseable grocery bags have a plastic piece
