Advanced Beginner friendly, 18 and over.
If you like a crossbody bag, this is the one you want to make! And if you have every wished for the perfect concealed carry bag, this is perfect for that! The vertical front zipper pocket can be placed on either the left or right, depending on what is easier for you. In addition, there is also a slip pocket on the back, with a snap closure, so you still have easy access to your phone, or keys.

AT HOME CLASS PREP:
Please interface all fabric before cutting. You may have a little waste, but it is a much easier way to do things. All pattern (paper) pieces should be cut and taped together at the matching symbols, or letters. Use those pieces to cut your fabrics (unless you would like to just use the measurements as noted above). You will have A LOT of pieces, be sure to label each one using the tabs on page 18 of the pattern. These must all be cut at home, prior to class. BE SURE TO BRING ANY LEFTOVER FABRICS, AND INTERFACING, IN CASE IT IS NEEDED. If you have any questions, Robin can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at 570-872-2760.
