- 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!

Perfect little bag I can hide inside my jacket when I’m out on my own. I have to use a mobility scooter so always feel vulnerable with my bag on show. Thank you Debbie for yet another wonderful little but very practical make.
🥰
The birds sound lovely in the garden. Like the bag thank you.
Thank you Debbie. You're a lovely teacher xx
Dear Debbie - I really appreciate all of your details of making this crossover bag. Thank you for all of your hard work. Smiles
love the way you you explained all the steps. The bag is beautiful. Thank you for your tutorial.
Just made this bag and it’s great. I found the strap too short for me as a cross body bag so I added an additional 15” and it’s now spot on. I do like the way you finish your projects - neat and professional. I have several dog walking friends who will be getting one of these for birthdays/ Christmas. Thank you so much for all your excellent tutorials. They really are the best out there. 👍
I too have just finished this bag and found the extra long strap I used was still too short for a cross-body bag. Next one will be even longer.
Hello, I hope you are having a wonderful and creative day. I sent the day in my sewing room too and now I get to sit and watch you while I hand quilt. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead. Thank you for your time and posting this video!
Thank you very much for sharing this video. You are a wonderful teacher and you explain all the important steps. I’m glad I can learn a lot of things from you.
Great video. You've helped me figure out how to sew the lining in over the flap ❤
Made this sweet little bag today. Used quilt cotton in a rust color that featured black butterflies. Used that as front, back and underside of flap. Used a sparkly black cotton for gussets, top of flap, tabs and strap. I did make the gusset about a half inch wider and had no issues with the slight change. Went together well and was fun to make. Thanks for another great bag🤗👍🏽
Sounds amazing!
Made this bag today Debbie, thank you for the easy to follow tutorial xxxx
Another sweet bag, both easy and useful! You are a joy to watch.
definitely will sew one of these - love your variety of purses or bags .
I have wanted a bag like this for ages. Thank you for the live & extra tutorial x
I really miss these videos. You are an awesome teacher. Your new videos the chatter takes away from learning
Such a great cross body bag! I think I might use some denim jeans to make one. Thanks for another great project, Debbie!
This is a great bag ,I have now made 4 for Christmas Presents,thanks Debbie for your generousity.
I like how you design your bags for your fur baby. ❤❤
I learned a new technique on sewing the ends of a strap. I would never have thought to turn the fabric the same way. I havecalways tucked the ends when sewin a long strap or tube like strip. I will use this technique from now on. I can see how it will make the end more even.
Crossbody bags are all that I carry. Love how you added the gusset to this one. Perfect size for a day out. Great little bag. I need to make one of these. Thanks! 💕
Thank you so much for the tutorial Debbie, I absolutely loved making the bag as a gift.
Love this bag. And she made it so easy to make
Just made this bag today. I will cut off the strap and make another using 45 "as it is much too small for me too. My lining inside seems a bit bulky too. I measured 3x so not sure why. I love the way you show things in real time and go through each step!! You are extremely helpful, thankyou!
Thank-you so much, I tried it and are very happy with my bag. I made it a bit bigger. Enjoyed your tutorial very much.
I just finished one. I used a regular cotton for the lining and a light weight canvas for the bag. Oh it's so cute. I have to make another. For a gift. Thank you so much. It's perfect. Just don't look too close. Thank you Thank you, etc.
thank you debbie this method is easy to understand
Love it.Will do mine in denim. Thanks for this easy method .
I can’t wait to make this one! I was thinking cork would be cute with this bag… thank you!
Loved it Debbie thanks. I had to nip back to get a bit more fabric but glad I did as she also stocks your fabric so my pocket is a bit lighter but hey ho xxx
I tried making my bag in faux leather, but I found that it was impossible to topstitch over the tabs for the straps , even with a walking foot, and sewing on the long strap (not long enough!) was also difficult because there are too many layers of fabric. I have a little bag that I can use though, and I've learned a lot about faux leather! The next bag will be in recycled denim - nice and easy! Thanks Debbie for the instructions!
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you.
Love this bag 😍 thank you Debbie
Love this video ❤🎉. Thanks!!
Now I know what I’m making for my (newly) teenage granddaughter’s Christmas gift. Thank you so much!
I went through many CZcams videos and should have known better . . . I’ll always seem to go w/ your design.
Love this, will definitely be trying it
Love this I will be making one or two thanks again for your instructions
Ove this!!! Mine will have a removable strap, so I can pop it off, and stick it in a larger bag, when I'm in a hurry!
Fab bag - nice sew!
What a fabulous tutorial. I’ve been wanting to make a dog walking bag for ages. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m really excited now. Can’t wait to get started. 😊
Thank you
Debbie
great little simple bag. I think I would make the strap a little longer. seems a bit short for me to wear across body, but yes I would definitely make this one.
Love it, thank you💕
Love ❤️ it.
Hi I can't find the fabric measurements to cut out for this bag please.
I made this bag 4 inches bigger than yours with a gusset of 3 inches. It came out great. I used an aqua print with butterflies and a sky blue gusset and lining. I have been making other of your patterns for craft show items
Love this bag, it’s just what I need for my dog walking. If I wanted to put a eyelet in the front for Pooh bags when would I add that please?
If the eyelet went through all layers you could do that after the bag is finished
Fantastic
I look forward to making this and have enjoyed a couple of your other bag tutorials! I'm curious about the mat under your machine. Did you make a video about it?
That’s a Half Yard Sewing Club member project, glad you like it!
May I ask what length of stitches you recommend for seams and topstitching, please Debbie. Thanks so much for all your hard work: I love all your tutorials; you have such an easy way of demonstrating the techniques. TIA
Seams generally 2.4, topstitching 2.6 but it varies depending on the fabric…
Schade, hätte sie gern nach genäht, gefällt mir sehr gut. Leider finde ich es sehr schade, das du die Maße nicht am Anfang zeigst und da ich deine Sprache auch nicht verstehe, würde es mir auch nix nützen wenn du es gesagt hättest. Könntest du denn die Maße noch dazu schreiben? Das wäre super lieb. Vielen Dank 😊🙏
10:17 USA Unable to find measurements
What is your ironing board? I didn’t see a link in the description box.
After adding the gusset on the lining, how come you don’t need to snip the curves to help fabric bend on the second side
The curves are snipped (10.45 on the video) 🙂
Shouldn’t we cut 2 of each 6x8 for body of bag outer and lining?
Thanks! Amended now
Hi Debbie, just cut out my fabric. Could you confirm that the bag back and flap piece is 12" x 6" and I cut the top 4" piece off to make the flap? It a tad short that's all compared to your video?
Apologies, I’ve amended the instructions now
@@debbieshore oh no!!
Will be making this one soon!
What happened to the Live video Debbie? No longer showing. I was half way through watching it yesterday but today it’s gone.
Back again now!
@@debbieshore That’s great Thank you very much. I like to watch both versions! 👍
I can't imagine how the strap can fit you cross body, 30" just goes over one shoulder and is almost right under my armpit! I have had to add a further 20" and that really doesn't give enough to make use of a slider. Other than that I love this pattern. 🙂
30" is very long. Are you sure you used inches?
@@meganl7707 If you measure 30" over your shoulder and across the body, that only equates to 15" either side, and yes I did measure in inches! I was wondering if it should read 50".
@@lindarichards4841 ill have to check my measurements later
Made the whole bag ,came out fab a shame the strap is miles to short,start again Sylvia,where the cutting instructions wrong?
That’s how I cut it, I do say in the instructions to cut longer if needed. Sorry it was too short
@@debbieshore No problem ,just undid strap and made a longer one ,thanks Debbie.
What size seam allowance are you taking please
Quarter inch
Definately strap too short. But happy with the little bag
I managed to lengthen the strap by joining an extra piece of fabric like you join bias binding.its hardly visible due to my fabric choice!
👌👏👍👍
