Cross Body Bag

Carry everything you need and stay hands free with this handy Cross Body Bag pattern. Go fancy with smart hardware and adjustable strap, or keep it simple without these optional extras.

With both open and zipper pockets front and back, inside and outside, you can keep everything organised and in its place. Roomy enough to carry a tablet but smart enough to use as a purse.
