Petite and charming, the Mia crossbody bag is beginner-friendly and a stylish option to add to any ensemble. This bag's compact design is ideal for carrying essentials for everyday or a night out.

Included with this purchase is the pattern cover and the pattern instructions.

Included are many sewing techniques and tips to help you achieve a quality, finished project. Each pattern is designed to help you learn and expand your sewing skills!

Most patterns are measured and cut, which means that the pieces will need to be cut with a rotary cutter, ruler, and cutting mat. Some patterns may include templates for shaping and/or cutting out the pieces.

Trace or photocopy the pattern piece(s) onto a separate sheet of paper. If printing or copying template(s), print at 100% or actual size. Measure the test square provided in the pattern to ensure the pieces are the correct size. Tape corresponding pieces together before cutting fabric, aligning red lines, shapes, and outer edges. It’s also helpful to write the name and cutting instructions on each pattern piece. Cut out pattern pieces along solid black lines, unless otherwise stated.

Please review the back of the pattern cover for recommended fabrics. Shop our selection of Cork Fabric, Faux Leather, Microsuede, and Faux Fur for a designer finish. We also offer quality Interfacing and Stabilizers, to add structure and stability to your projects! Some patterns can also take our Mesh or Cotton & Canvas that we offer
