ZIPPER LINED CROSS BODY BAG

May 6, 2020 By The Crafty Author

I know it seems like it might be a while before we are able to travel, but I thought this easy, little zipper lined cross body bag was perfect for just that. Whether you are going on a trip over seas or to the grocery store, this bag does not disappoint. I made myself one earlier in the month and I use it to store my phone, ear buds and extra bags for when I walk my dog. It works perfectly for that!

In addition to being great for phones, passports, etc… It’s also great for gifts! You can customize with any fabric and make it for a grown adult or a small child. Either way, you can’t go wrong.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

2 – 10 1/2” Squares of Main Fabric

2- 10 1/2” Squares of Lining Fabric

4 – 2 1/2” Strips for the Handle (or you can use one large piece instead of cutting 4 pieces)

2 – 1 1/2” x 2 1/2” Strips for the Zipper Pulls

Zipper – 13” Long

Sewing Machine

Thread

Rotary Cutter

Cutting Mat

Iron

Scissors

Snips

Seam Ripper

Quilt Clips or Pins
