If you want to make yourself a beautiful bag then the Luisa Crossbody bag is an awesome pattern to add to your sewing pattern collection. We especially like the separate base to the bag which you can sew with a hard-wearing fabric or just to add some interesting contrast to your fabrics.

The outside has a neat full-width split pocket with contrast trim. On the other side is a hidden zipper pocket, but don’t worry, it’s not difficult to sew and looks great!
