Elite Crossbody Wallet pattern
Here is the Elite Crossbody Wallet pattern from a very popular designer. Using this clever pattern you’ll be able to sew your own double compartment zippered bag that really is ultra-versatile. In fact, you can sew two of them because there are two different sizes in the same pattern.
Being ultra-versatile means you have lots of choices. It’s a large enough bag where you can carry all your daily necessities including your phone but is still small enough to slip into a larger bag. The crossbody strap makes it easy to carry it by itself, or you can detach the strap and carry it as a simple zipper clutch.
The designer has also given you the option of making the bag in two sizes, with the larger size being large enough to hold a tablet. Because you can make your bag in two different sizes the designer has included appropriate instructions including customizing the pockets.
Skill level:
The designer describes this pattern as intermediate and is, therefore, best suited for sewers with some experience. She also advises that there are no bias bindings but there is a small amount of hand-stitching.
