A handbag for everyday use, large enough to hold all your essentials neatly organized and easy to reach. It’s just what you need for a short trip to the town, meeting a friend at your favorite cafe, or quick errands in the neighborhood – especially if you never leave your house without your iPad!
Teya – The Crossbody Bag Sewing Pattern
Running an errand in town? Your iPad always on the go with you? Multi-tasking all along? You probably need a hands-free bag, and a fiddle-free way to find your keys and phone. Large enough for all the essentials, but no bulk. The TEYA ipad Crossbody bag will be perfect for you!
a practical and simple crossbody bag sewing pattern
The first two words on my mind when designing this bag were practical and simple. Why? I wanted to design an everyday bag pattern. One you always grab first when you leave the house. The one which allows you, in a blink of an eye, to see if you’ve got your iPad, phone, and keys. And maybe a pack of tissues. And that’s all. This is the thing I love most about the TEYA and this is why this bag will be used a lot.

Pattern sewing instructions are easy to follow
This is an intermediate pattern, meaning that it’s ideal if you have sewn a simple bag or two before. However, I’m always writing my instructions with my mind on a sewing beginner, and when I say the pattern and tutorial are easy-to-follow, I really mean it. It’s pictures and tips like these:
There are photos for each step and clear instructions. Tips included. I want to make your project super easy and fun! And as usual, there’s more.
You’ll also learn:
- how to make a recessed zipper panel on a bag (so handy!)
- how to make a welt zipper pocket (the one you’ll want to use everywhere from now on!)
- sew an adjustable bag strap (and how to attach the bag hardware)
- how to add fusible interfacing; with material recommendations
Don’t have a zipper foot for sewing zippers? No problem, I included a tip for using your regular foot with zippers too!
Your crossbody bag sewing pattern file includes
- All measurements are given in inches and cm.
- Supplies list and interfacing recommendations.
- Printing and pattern-cutting instructions.
Oh, and one thing more: Sew-to-Sell. That’s right, you’re more than welcome to sell your finished bags you make from this pattern.
Make it in canvas, quilting-weight cotton, home decor fabric, or faux leather, mix and match materials as you feel like. Countless variations, cute and practical!
Did I mention it makes a great gift for women of all ages? Or make a men’s gadget bag for your man if you stick to black and denim fabric 😉 Tailor it exactly to your likes and needs.
Make one for yourself. Or two. Then grab your iPad, phone, and keys, toss them in this slim and stylish cross-body tote – and you’re good to go!
Too many bags? There’s no such thing, haha! Have you noticed that there are two different zippers on the front and back? Welt zipper pocket on the back, and tabbed zipper pocket on the front. Once you learn how to make those, you’ll be making them all the time. Bags, pouches, purses, everywhere!
