Andrie Designs – Polly Cross body Pouch Paper Pattern

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!

This pattern comes with one file containing both the pattern instructions and the pieced pattern pages. It has 5 pages of clear, detailed instructions. 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.
