MONEY BAG is a small cross-body bag with a zippered pocket and a card slot pocket in the interior. This pattern includes two styles, and two strap options that allow you to wear the bag one of three ways - with a strap as a cross-body bag, or without a strap as a waist pouch clipped to your belt loops or threaded onto your belt.

FEATURES:
  • STYLE 1 has an exterior front slip pocket with a closure flap and a magnetic snap.
  • STYLE 2 has a front zippered pocket.
  • Both styles can be made using main fabric or a contrasting fabric in a variety of ways.
  • Optional decorative corner patches can be added to both front styles.
  • Both styles have a recessed zipper closure at the top and an adjustable cross-body strap.
  • The cross-body strap can be made with your exterior or contrasting fabric or with good-quality grosgrain ribbon or light webbing. Using the lighter strap lets you easily tuck it into your bag when MONEY BAG is attached to your belt loops or belt.
  • Strap OPTION A has swivel hooks on the bag back and D-rings on the adjustable strap. With the strap attached, the bag can be worn cross-body or the strap can be removed and the bag can be worn attached to your belt loops via the swivel hooks.
  • Strap OPTION B has D-rings on the bag back and swivel hooks on the straps for a typical cross-body bag setup. The D-Ring tabs extend to the bottom of the back of the bag in such a way that they function as belt loops when the strap is removed.
  • With two front styles and two strap options plus the optional corner patches, there are eight ways to make MONEY BAG your own.  Create the perfect small cross-body or waist/hip bag to hold your money, phone and keys in a secure and convenient way.
