The Mini Crossbody Bag 3 is yet another fun little bag that will make a great addition to your bag collection. This is a great project to use faux leather, cork, or other "specialty" fabric due to its simplicity, although canvas and denim fabric will work great as well.
Finished bag measurements : 7 1/4" x 7" (18.5 x 18cm)

Many of you enjoyed the Bitsy Bag project that I shared in June. Those little bags have been one of my favorites, which I wear quite frequently.
Although I love the compactness of the original Bitsy Bag version, there were times where I wish it could be a tad larger so I can bring more stuffs (when I do need to bring more stuffs) in it.
So I decided to play around with the pattern, making it larger yet keeping the same "compact" concept and I am very happy with the result.

In this new upcycling project, I am very excited to share with you the three-zip crossbody bag pattern that is made from an old winter jacket. Taking full advantage of the sturdiness and waterproofness of a jacket material, plus the functionality of its design, this bag will surely become one of your favorite.
If you happen to have an old, slightly worn out, or outdated jacket, you may use that for this project, otherwise feel free to use fabric that you have in your stash (canvas, linen, denim, or cordura fabric will work great).

Here's a fun satchel project to start your sewing adventure this year. The Sassy Satchel comes with many pockets without being too bulky, I love the detachable adjustable strap and the shoulder straps which allow you to carry this bag in different style options, and the zipper closure to ensure you get to keep your belonging securely.
All and all, this is such a versatile bag that soon will be your new BBFF (Best Bag Friend Forever).
