Full Video Tutorial

This bag remains one of our most popular patterns so we decided to update the tutorial. We hope you enjoy sewing along with Jo.


This little cross-body is designed to be an everyday bag with room to fit your wallet, sunglasses, keys & phone. It features an exterior slip pocket as well as 6 card slots in an interior zip pocket. The sewing pattern has two size options: the tall and the small.

There are no raw edges in the pattern so you can use cotton, cork or vinyl, provided your machine can manage it. There is no binding used in this pattern and the lining is turned, not dropped in.
