The Crafted Crossbody Bag (free)

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.
