Description
The Crafted Crossbody bag is perfect for turning that box of scraps and forgotten fat quarters into something beautiful and useable. The pattern has instructions for 3 different versions so you can really be as creative as you like.
Use a single piece of fabric for the outer, or color block it or mix and match with a different fabric on each half with a seam down the middle, or really go to town with your scraps and create a patchwork quilted version with all the patterns you love.
The bag uses minimal hardware, has a top zipper closure and an inside zipper pocket, plus an adjustable strap, and darts for shape and volume.
