An easy to follow sewing pattern to create a Polly Cross Body Pouch – a simple in design, yet effective in appearance, cross body bag.
Use the flap to feature a favourite fabric, and the body of the pouch to show off a coordinate. The strap is generous in length, allowing you to wear the pouch cross body or simply on one shoulder. The pouch is a super quick sew, making it perfect for last minute gifts!
It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer.
All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and diagrams to make adding the zipper an easy and stress-free experience.
