This might just be perfect!! I have a tiny purse I absolutely love, it holds my phone, wallet and keys perfectly. But about 2months after I got we found out we need to carry epi pens for our daughter. And w her pen the purse is way to tight. W this bag I think it would fit perfectly! instead of leaving a finger space on the strap, I think I will slip 2 key rings on the strap when I am placing it. Then when I am ready to sew the strap down I can just slide 1 to each side to hang my keys and sunglasses. 😊
I was looking for a very secure way to make a good crossbody bag! AND, here you are. I need it bigger and I’ll put a phone pocket on the front, but, but this is so easy to work with. I have two Bible studies I go to and take my service dog. You can see that it makes for a bit of good management of tools! But this offers the bottom expansion and I can easily add a snap or Velcro closure at the top. I like that the inside is finished without adding a liner and quilting it myself - yes! Perfect. Thank you. ❤️
Yes, I remember seeing this process on another youtube video and wondered if I could even sew with my machine so I'm watching how you sew. 👏👍 Bright red carabinder was perfect. I love your sewing machine!
I just made 2 of these.... First one I gave to my 5 year old Granddaughter... with a few mistakes!🤦😉 The 2nd one I just finished and I'm giving it to my daughter.. And I'm happy to say I figured out my mistakes and it looks really good and I'm very pleased with it!! Thank you so much.. I'm still fairly new to sewing and self taught So your patients and careful thought out steps help me tremendously! Virtual hugs and gratitude from Louisiana!!💖💖
That cross bag is so cute! I’ll have to watch several times before I make it and I’m hoping to make it for me. I never make myself anymore, it’s always sewing for somebody else. So this one will be for me, now to find the time. Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant - just found this as looking for a simple bag to take on a cruise that can hold 2 pairs of glasses - sunnies and reading plus tissues - perfect size - thank you
I made this Tracey! It worked out Very nice . I did it on plan fabric, quilted it, and then did a dragonfly iron on with my cricut to put on front. I also used magnetic snap enclosures. You give such great directions. Nice teaching!!
Your description and the little tips are so good that it encourages to attempt and can never go wrong. Would like to know the measurements for a similar bigger bag.
So lovely! After the fun filled day, in my sewing room, I just finished, I get to sit with my hand quilting and watch you work. Thank you for your inspiration and talent!
Thank you, great instruction for a beginner, ade this fir a friend. I made the strap from the same fabric as bag and somehow managed to sew it on with the seam facing out 😉 but still very happy.
A definite need to try using my vintage Singer Model 404 which I have knicknamed "a the Monster" as it sews heavy fabrics very easily. Thank you for your videos!
I love this! I’ve been trying to find an easy crossbody to make for travel. I learned that the cut proof straps have wire inside so will probably make a strap. Thank you soooooooo much! I love the way you teach!
Oh my gosh, how cute is this. I love it. Such a cleaver idea. Great job explaining the instructions. thank you so much. Now I need to get busy and make mine🙆♀💁♀
Hi Tracy. I have seen this technique. Lisa Dopking here in Australia has been making similar bags for years. Hers a slightly different as they have a coordinating lining, and are completely reversible. She doesn’t use any fleece but you easily could. They literally take me 7 minutes to make. The folding technique is so quick and easy. 🌷
Hi. Love how this bag is made. Your teaching method of all tutorials is awesome. I am a tall lady and would love a little larger bag. Also a inside divider pocket. I think I would like a magnet or zipper closure. Any chance you might do another tutorial showil any of these. Also , what do you think of sewing with serger? 😊😊
Once again you have given me the tutorial I’ve been looking for! Just made this but made strap out of fabric. Also sewed the strap down on the side. Now I can take my phone with me all around the house while listening to books! You are great!
I loved making this bag with you today. It took you 17 minutes and took me 2 hours! Much pausing and rewinding. It won't take so long the next time. When I turned it inside out, I thought how did I get those corners on the bottom? It was great fun and I will wear my bag proudly on vacation. Thank you!
Hello, I just watched this, and can't wait to try making one. However, I'm a beginner, and I'd like to use a button closer instead of velcro. Do you have a tutorial showing how I'd go about that? Thanks so much
Didn't read all comments yet so don't know if this was mentioned... To get the angle symmetrical on your handle, draw a diagonal on each end before you begin placement steps. Then, if you drew the lines in the right direction (ask me how I know THAT), getting both ends sitting at the same angle is no problem.
Brilliant. Just one question with the pleat folding does that give you pockets or perhaps better described as dividers? Would love to see the inside. Added to my to do list as it's so cute. 😍
I just made this! It's great, the pleats make a 'box' bottom; which basically means it has a wide bottom. So it's more roomy, takes my phone, keys and meds! I didn't have any velcro (hook & loop) and machined a button hole to flap and sewed on a button. So easy to make, just paused the video, she explained the process really well! (First time I machined a button hole!)
Hi there! That is so cute. A little bucket bag. I have to try this after I finish with my other projects but I think I will use denim or camouflage. I hope it comes out as cute and as well made as yours. ❤
Wow Awesome! thank you so much for the kind words. There are other tutorials out there on this bag but not in english✅ It was a great opportunity for me💛
I love this bag..but I think I would line it to prevent the fleece from rubbing off into lint. Also did I miss how the front flap becomes straight across?
I really liked it I am going to make it a little bit bigger to use as a overnight bag thank you for you step-by-step instructions 😊 you at doing a great job 😀
VERY cute. OK, I’m confused. With all the pleats, why no dividers inside? I would like to have a pocket inside to keep my phone from getting scratched etc. I’ll have to figure out how to do a pocket. Also, since my sewing machine is stashed and I don’t want to pull it out now, I wonder if I could hand-sew this. ❤️👍🐈⬛
This is so easy to make!! I'm now on my 3rd bag! I lengthened mine to 9 inches (instead of 7 inches)🥰 and it's perfect for travel!
I am going ti try this with pre quilted material I am upcycling. I am also going to add an outside and inside pockets. I cant wait to try it.
Wish you would have shown the finished interior of the bag.
Your instructions are so precise and clear. Thank you
I’m always amazed that people can figure out these configurations!
This might just be perfect!! I have a tiny purse I absolutely love, it holds my phone, wallet and keys perfectly. But about 2months after I got we found out we need to carry epi pens for our daughter. And w her pen the purse is way to tight. W this bag I think it would fit perfectly!

Oh Trina...what an AWESOME idea about sliding the rings on the strap !!!!! That's even better than the way I made mine✅✅✅👍🏻🥳
Super great!!!♡

Awe thank you for coming back to comment💛 virtual hugs right back💛
Love this. Will try one soon. Thank you. Your instruction is great!
I just discovered The Sewing Channel, you are amazing.
I love it nice and simple using less materials ❤❤❤❤

It's super fast to make too Christine✅
Brilliant - just found this as looking for a simple bag to take on a cruise that can hold 2 pairs of glasses - sunnies and reading plus tissues - perfect size - thank you
Quick question; you used fusible interfacing and iron on fleece?
Fusible fleece only✅
I made this Tracey! It worked out
Very nice . I did it on plan fabric, quilted it, and then did a dragonfly iron on with my cricut to put on front. I also used magnetic snap enclosures. You give such great directions. Nice teaching!!
Wonderful! thank you for letting me know it worked for you Linda💛
Oh! Magnetic closure is a very good idea.
What a neat idea. So you could actually make it wider too.... Okay have to try this one. Great video!
Yes you can!
I do love a good hack. This is brilliant & I love how you attached the steps and the final treatments made for a very nice, functional bag . Thank you
Saw this pattern yesterday, laid up with severely broken ankle. Just made it from odd stash and it came out really well. Used button for fastener.
Great! Hope you get well quickly! 💕
That was excellent. Thank you for sharing your talent. Going to try this out tomorrow.
I think I'm going to try making this bag for my new mini camera (with some sizing adjustments). Thanks so much!
Really cute, quick bag!! Thank you for sharing! I have one of those Panasonic irons, but it doesn’t get hot enough to my dismay!!!
Such a cute cross body bag.
Your description and the little tips are so good that it encourages to attempt and can never go wrong. Would like to know the measurements for a similar bigger bag.
So lovely! After the fun filled day, in my sewing room, I just finished, I get to sit with my hand quilting and watch you work. Thank you for your inspiration and talent!
You are so welcome!
Creative design for cute functional bag! I'm going to try making one! Thanks!
Thank you, great instruction for a beginner, ade this fir a friend.
I made the strap from the same fabric as bag and somehow managed to sew it on with the seam facing out 😉 but still very happy.
Great job!
Wow!!!! You can’t get any easier with one seam!!😳 LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!👍😅
Lol thanks flameshakk💛❤️♥️💕
Oh my gosh. That bag is darling!!
Thank you Nancy💛
Fantastic job! I've seen it before but haven't got the nerve yet to try but will now. Thank you
Genius!!! Thank you very much, I really appreciate your tutorial.
Glad it was helpful Diana💛
A definite need to try using my vintage Singer Model 404 which I have knicknamed "a the Monster" as it sews heavy fabrics very easily. Thank you for your videos!
I love this easy cross-body bag! It's so cute! I've never seen this before.
it's an easy one for sure!
Turning off TH-cam and 🏃♀️ RUNNING 🏃♀️ to the sewing room. Carla from New Mexico. Thank you.
🎶💐💖🫂
Run!🥳
That’s adorable!! I gave it a thumbs up after I watched the whole thing!! I wanted to see it all and almost forgot about it!
This is one of the best sewing projects that I have seen on TH-cam! I plan on making this for a Christmas gift this year....'sew' awesome! 😉
Wow, thank you!
I love this! I’ve been trying to find an easy crossbody to make for travel. I learned that the cut proof straps have wire inside so will probably make a strap. Thank you soooooooo much! I love the way you teach!
What are cut proof straps?
You are so welcome Leslie...this is an easy bag to make for sure!!!✅
My very first one came out perfect. Thanks
I need a 1 seam for cell phones.
Awesome !!!! Thank you for letting us all know🌸
Fabulous crossbody bag, I need to give it a try before vacation. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!!! Keep me posted on how it turns out Beverly✅
I love it😍👍 so cute, must try to make one. If i want to make the "flap" longer how do you suggest i do that??
Suzanne...just lengthen the long piece to how much more you want and then just keep my same measurements of the folds and it should work✅
I love how your mind works! So easy, but with such detailed instructions. Freaking cute little bag. Thank you!
You’re welcome 💛
Simply Fabulous I subscribed I love the word quilty ! thank you so much for being detailed
Thanks for subbing! Welcome to The Sewing Channel💛
Thinking about adding a zip pocket on the outside and smaller pockets inside.
Oh my gosh, how cute is this. I love it. Such a cleaver idea. Great job explaining the instructions. thank you so much. Now I need to get busy and make mine🙆♀💁♀
Really cute bag with good instructions since I am a beginner.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my goodness…this is absolutely ingenious! Thanks for sharing this.
I love making bags for my daughter. This is a great little bag. Thank you again for the tutorial and inspiration.
You are so welcome Ann...Have fun making it!!!🥳
Adorable!! You are sooo creative and talented!! HUUUUUGGGGSSS!!!!
Thank you for the kind feedback Ginger!💛
So cute! I think it would be so quick to do several of these, using the same backing for lining, quilting them up on my Longarm! Yay!!
Yay!!! great idea!
What a great little bag.
Love this. Perfect gift for 6 granddaughters this Christmas.
Well this is just so cute and clever!! I think it took longer to pick my fabric than it did to stitch up!! Thank you, this will be on repeat!!
This is adorable. A quick cute bag for me or for gifts.
Love it! Can’t wait to make one! I think I will make straps with matching fabric. The sewing of the straps to the side would be similar I assume?
I need to learn to make a bag like the one my mom bought but inside has a zip divider. On the outside it looks just like yours.
Hi Tracy. I have seen this technique. Lisa Dopking here in Australia has been making similar bags for years. Hers a slightly different as they have a coordinating lining, and are completely reversible. She doesn’t use any fleece but you easily could. They literally take me 7 minutes to make.

The technique has been around a long time but it's amazing how many sewist don't know about it🤷🏻♀️
What a great tutorial!! Thanks! I have a couple guys I will make one for them to use hunting.
I adore this cross body bag. Thank you
It is super cute Ann!✅
So cute I may make them for my 6 nieces and a boy print for my 1 nephew in a cute boy print for him! Thanks for the idea.
Hi. Love how this bag is made. Your teaching method of all tutorials is awesome.
I am a tall lady and would love a little larger bag. Also a inside divider pocket. I think I would like a magnet or zipper closure. Any chance you might do another tutorial showil any of these.
Also , what do you think of sewing with serger? 😊😊
I love sewing with a serger..typically stretchy items though.✅
I just love love love your bag....I must try this.....thank you for the detailed tutorial. 🌹💜
That is truly very cute hope I can make mine as pretty as yours
I LOVE THIS!! Going to make it this week!!
this is genius! I keep looking for the right size travel bag, this will be perfect, thank you so much

excellent job on the cross body bag❤
That is completely adorable I love your projects thanks
You’re welcome 💛
Once again you have given me the tutorial I’ve been looking for! Just made this but made strap out of fabric. Also sewed the strap down on the side. Now I can take my phone with me all around the house while listening to books! You are great!

Hello, I just watched this, and can't wait to try making one. However, I'm a beginner, and I'd like to use a button closer instead of velcro. Do you have a tutorial showing how I'd go about that? Thanks so much
No I have no button tutorial...just follow any regular button instructions out there and you should be ok😀
Absolutely adorable!
Thank you✅

Ingenious. Thank you for sharing
You are so welcome!
I love this project!
Your free motion exudes confidence! Awesome bag. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind feedback💛much practice✅
This is brilliant. Never seen this method before. Thank you sew much
You are so welcome!💛
That's a miracle ! How did that happen, and quick too? Beautiful bag, I'm gonna make loads. Thankyou 🎉
I made one right away, it was so much fun, thank you. I wish I could send a picture.
Great job Mary!!! You can always email the pic to: thesewingchannel33@gmail.com ✅
That purse is tooooooooo cute !!! Love it ! Thank you for showing “me” .🥰🥰
You are so welcome!💛
Brilliant. Just one question with the pleat folding does that give you pockets or perhaps better described as dividers? Would love to see the inside. Added to my to do list as it's so cute. 😍
You could perhaps make the piece of fabric longer and figure out the position for more pleats and add "dividers" in it✅
@@TheSewingChannel this bag is so cute I going to have to try to make one. Thank you for sharing your talents
The large pleat is the front of the bag. I had to watch it twice to gather that. I like the idea of a divider though.
I assumed that with all the folds it would end up with built-in pockets or dividers, so that is disapponting. Otherwise, cute bag and easy to make
I just made this! It's great, the pleats make a 'box' bottom; which basically means it has a wide bottom. So it's more roomy, takes my phone, keys and meds! I didn't have any velcro (hook & loop) and machined a button hole to flap and sewed on a button. So easy to make, just paused the video, she explained the process really well! (First time I machined a button hole!)
What a fab bag. I can see I will be making dozens of these as gifts. Thank you very much.
Great tutorial. Explained very precisely. 😁👍
You’re welcome Anita
😊
So that's how Vera Bradley made her millions! lol, it's adorable.
Awesome🤩 can you make one bigger and with a zipper to ckose the bag but still the flap
I just love what you did. Thank you!
Thank you! Very beautiful!
Hi there! That is so cute. A little bucket bag. I have to try this after I finish with my other projects but I think I will use denim or camouflage. I hope it comes out as cute and as well made as yours. ❤
Hi Anna!! Yes denim or camo would be darling...you just inspired me to make another one in camo! Thank you for the idea!!💛
I absolutely love this pattern. Thank you
You’re welcome Wendy💛
I love the little bag and the fabric 💗
Thank you Veronica💛
Thank you! I made it, it's sucah an amazing design. I love it. The best tutorial about sewing a small purse I have seen. ❤😀
Wow Awesome! thank you so much for the kind words. There are other tutorials out there on this bag but not in english✅ It was a great opportunity for me💛
I love this bag..but I think I would line it to prevent the fleece from rubbing off into lint. Also did I miss how the front flap becomes straight across?
you may have missed it....it's in the video✅
I would love to see a 1 stitch messenger bag. Thanks
Absolutely precious!
Very nicely done.
Thank you very much Judith !✅

OK, I’m confused. With all the pleats, why no dividers inside? I would like to have a pocket inside to keep my phone from getting scratched etc. I’ll have to figure out how to do a pocket.
Also, since my sewing machine is stashed and I don’t want to pull it out now, I wonder if I could hand-sew this. ❤️👍🐈⬛
Yes I totally think you can hand sew this project✅
So cute. Must get some material and make it!!
Yes...super fun and easy!!✅
