Men's Tweed Jacket to Messenger Bag

I had "before" pictures of the jacket but they got stolen with my iPad at LAX. Thanks American Airlines for NOT taking responsibility for one of your EMPLOYEES stealing my iPad. And NO! "find my iPhone" did not help me. I had a WiFi only iPad and it never showed up, ever.

I watched Whitney Sews youtube channel (http://whitneysews.com/) and found this video. I probably watched it 15 times and then decided that a thick tweed jacket could be substituted for the normal weight fabric in the video. Ignorance is bliss. LOL. Anyhoo, I wanted to give her credit for inspiring me and making sewing look a hell of a lot easier than it actually is.
