Simple Pattern / Tutorial for easy cross body bag

5 replies

WhenDoISleep · 11/06/2014 14:49

I'd really like a small basic cross body bag that I can have mobile/phone/keys in for when I don't want to have my fuller handbag with me.

I have searched and can't find anything suitable to buy so I thought I would see if I can find a pattern and attempt to make one as good practice of using my machine.

I am very much a novice and the patterns/tutorials I have found either don't make the style of bag I have in mind or are more advanced than I would like.

In my mind I am picturing a simple bag, perhaps with a pocket inside for phone or debit card, a long strap and a zip fastening.

Do any of the more experience sewers have any links they can share with me?

A hopeful bump!

Would this be too small? You could size it up if you need to and it has a zip.

No zip on this one, you could make it less "scrappy" in design.

Here's another with two zips.
