This is a PDF pattern to create a leather cross-body bag - The Barbette Bag. The leather template also includes patterns to make an adjustable webbing strap or a leather strap. The second option is to use a purse chain of various lengths for a light stylish carry. Alternatively, you can make a fixed-length leather strap using the included patterns. The Barbette Bag is a turned bag. This means it is stitched with its flesh side out and then turned inside out – this reveals the grain side of the leather and ‘hides’ the stitches on the inside of the bag. Designed for a cross-body and on-shoulder carry, The Barbette Bag is compact, yet it can pack a ton and is perfect for everyday use. Have fun making The Barbette Bag!
Happy crafting,
