I first designed it because I was looking for a nice little gift to bring back to Germany for my niece. In the end I decided on something else but still made two of these lovely handbags and created a sewing pattern for them. I would say this bag my be for girl's ages 5 to...? The bag has some nice features like a front zipper pocket and a divided front pocket as well as an additional inner slip pocket.
The pdf pattern includes 14 pages of sewing instructions with 33 pictures and three pattern pieces.
The pdf sewing pattern is now available for instant download in my pattern store. If you'd rather purchase one of the cute sample bags of the pictures above? Then head over to my charmed Liebling Etsy shop for either the denim and pink Girl's cross-body bag or the yellow and brown Girl's cross-body bag!
And finally the most fun part: check out the bags of my pattern testers!
Tracy finished her bag in no time! She also makes a lot of cool baby items which you can check out at her Etsy shop "Sew Chubby Cheeks"!
Darlis chose a blue and green combo for her Girl's cross-body bag! It looks fabulous!
Take a closer look at the cute apple pattern which Jamie used for her bag! Adorable!
I really like the contrasting patterns of Heidi's bag! And her fuzzy cutting was so perfect, you can't even see the front slip pocket!
Thanks to all my testers for your feedback and help with this pattern. It was very helpful and I am so glad that you had fun making this cute little bag!
