This download contains a pattern for a medium purse, or could be used as a small messenger bag, with a single shoulder strap. 
The PDF file has a link to a video tutorial, so you can see how to get setup and how I put it together.
(just in case the link in the PDF doesn't work: https://youtu.be/HhJfTPOkCx0 )

This is a simple standard purse pattern that can be adapted a bit to your needs or style. I designed this one to be strong, easy to put together, hand-stitch, and have a great finished product.
Measurements, other than stitching, were done in inches since I'm in the U.S. and only have access to hardware sized in inches.

Size of finished product: approximately 9 inches wide x 9 inches tall x 3.5 depth.
I recommend using a medium weight leather for the body (4-5oz.) with medium to stiff temper.
Pattern is set up for using a 1mm or 1.5mm punching hole, with 6mm spacing.
The shoulder strap is 1 inch wide, so you'll need a 1 inch buckle and clasps.
The D-rings I used are 3/4 inch.

Like I mentioned, this is a PDF file, ready for download now.
Paper size can be either A4 or US letter size, just download the correct file.
So, in your print settings, choose the correct paper size and also select the "actual size" setting
