How to Sew a Small Cross Body bag by Debbie Shore

A few of you have said you’d like the strap longer, mine was fine at 30” but please measure the length you need before you cut!

Large enough for your mobile phone, a few dog treats, cards or passport but small enough to be discreet or to wear under a jacket! This little bag is lined with inner patch pocket and has an adjustable strap. Feel free to make the strap longer if you need to!
