Crossbody cell phone purse pattern - Need something small that will keep your hands free and your phone, cards, and keys close by? A quick sew that only uses up little materials? Gotcha! Add smart but beginner-friendly construction with two extra pockets and you get the Aiden Cell Phone Purse pattern.

I love my Teya ipad bag, I sincerely do. It allows me to avoid carrying all but the kitchen sink with me and keep just what I need when I go to the town. But sometimes, I wish for something even smaller: a super convenient mini-sized bag, just for the phone, card and some change. So I designed one - the Aiden Pattern.

Love this small purse. Only thing I’d change is to make it deep enough for a key fob. I’m going to add a tab and swivel on the back piece to hang my key but would rather have it in a pocket. In the US anyway, can get the hardware on Amazon

Made one from faux leather, it turned out great!
