Be YOU! Cross Body Bag

Fashion & Wearables Completed Projects

I’ve been around fabric my entire life, from my gran who taught me to sew and pattern at age 5 to the sweet elderly neighbor who watched me after school and allowed me to help her with the beautiful quilts that she made.

I am odd in that I usually only ever buy fabric if I know its intended purpose beforehand, but this particular print screamed “BUY ME!!”, so I did. :smile:

After much muddling about what to make with it, I turned it into a cross body bag for myself. It has an exterior zipper pocket and is completely lined inside with french seams. The strap adjusts out to 59".

WOW! This sounds so well constructed and it’s so cheerful to look at and then even more so when you see the messages!

I wore my bag out in public for the first time today on a trip to the grocery store. Two different ladies noticed and mentioned my bag to me, one was in her late teens and the other was in her 60’s. :grin:
