Bag Sewing Tutorial

Learn how to make the Momexa Brossbody bag using this step-by-step sewing tutorial


This funky little crossbody features unique O-ring details on the exterior with the option to add a tassel and exterior zip pocket. Inside it features a neat, fitted lining with a simple zipper pocket. This little bag comes together quickly and is a great size to carry your daily essentials.

The Momexa is a cousin of the Lomexa. Not only is it smaller, but it has a few additional changes to the construction, the base and the pockets. This is a quicker, simplified version of the Lomexa and is great for those who prefer a smaller bag.
Optional exterior zip pocket
Interior zip pocket
For the exterior fabric I recommend cotton, canvas, cork, vinyl or leather. If using cork, vinyl or leather, omit the woven interfacing. Your chosen fabrics should be suitable for the capabilities of your sewing machine. If using a basic domestic sewing machine, I recommend using cotton or a thin canvas.

For the lining fabric I recommend quilting cotton or waterproof canvas. If using waterproof canvas, omit the interfacing.
