Robo Octo Messenger Bag

made with love for my boyfriend so he can carry his textbooks in style!

The body of the bag is crocheted, and the strap is lined with fabric to prevent stretching. The robot and octopus are combinations of sewed-on fabric pieces, embroidery, buttons, and puffy paint. As with many of my projects, I'm not sure exactly how long it took me in terms of hours. My boyfriend loves this bag. He wears the strap across his chest and it works great for carrying all his books or whatever he wants to carry around, now that it's summertime and there are no classes.
