Thiya Crossbody Bag Pattern — A Double-Pouch Design by Hemazing Patterns
If you’re on the hunt for a crossbody bag that’s equal parts stylish and functional, this one delivers on both counts. The Thiya Crossbody Bag by Hemazing Patterns is a double-pouch crossbody sewing pattern designed for advanced beginners — packed with zippered storage, a customizable strap, and illustrated instructions that make the whole process genuinely enjoyable.

- Gift sewists looking for a practical yet beautiful project to sew for someone special
Tips for Success
- Interface before you cut. Fuse interfacing to all exterior fabric panels before cutting out your pieces. This gives the bag its structure and prevents fabric from stretching around the zipper openings.
- Install zippers on flat panels first. Attach all zippered pockets before assembling the bag — working on flat panels is so much easier than trying to navigate zippers on a nearly-finished bag. Follow the illustrated order in the pattern.
- Test your strap before committing. Before permanently attaching the strap hardware, drape the bag and measure your preferred wearing length. The pattern is designed to be adjustable, so use that flexibility to get the fit just right.
