Zip To It Bag sewing pattern
This is a really cute and interesting looking bag. It’s pretty unique with those curved zipper tops giving it a funky, eye-catching design.
The Zip To It bag is made up of three separate compartments.
Each of the two sides has its own zippered pouch with a slip pocket inside each and the center compartment is open but closed with a magnetic flap.
The Zip To It is the perfect little crossbody bag that gives you the opportunity to mix and match your favorite fabrics. In the two examples shown of this lovely bag, you can see that you can add your own personal style to it with two different colored fabrics on the exterior. If you wish, you can of course just use one colored fabric.
This bag is perfect for traveling or for those who just don’t like to carry a huge bag around.
When you have finished making your Zip To It Bag it will measure approximately 10″ by 10″ by 2.25″ at tallest and widest points.
