Learn how to make the Madison Bag

This video course includes step-by-step instruction on making the Madison Bag.

The Madison Bag has several features, including a spacious exterior slip-in pocket, a large exterior zipper pocket made with my new "easy" method, a recessed zipper opening, and some interior slip-in pockets and a zipper pocket. As seen in the photos, Madison is a cross-body OR shoulder carry a bag.
