Finished size: 8" high x 11" wide x 3 1/4" deep (21cm h x 28cm w x 8cm d)

Skill level: Intermediate

Recommended fabrics: 6oz [2.0mm]+ Veg tan leather or Chrome tan leather: 30" x 16” [77cm x 41cm]. If using a thinner leather, it should have a firm/very firm handle. Soft/thin leather will make it difficult to close the flap when the bag is empty. If you choose to use a lighter fabric, consider not using a magnetic snap and just allowing the flap to fall closed.

We've had fun creating a few of these using 3-4mm felt so that's a great option if you want to make a cheaper and lighter option.

Included in the photos are bags made by our pattern testers. Our talented testers have made various additions to their bags. These are great examples of how you can easily customise your bag but please be aware that instructions for these modifications are not included in the pattern.

This pattern does not include SVG files for use on cutting machines as the pattern piece is too large for a standard cutting machine. However, an A1 file is included.

As indicated by the name, this is a no sew pattern constructed entirely with rivets. It’s a quick and simple bag to make. We recommend using genuine leather for this pattern as it’s unlined and has lots of raw edges. If you want to, you can finish your raw edges using edge paint for chrome tan leather, or by burnishing the edges of veg tan leather. This bag quickly comes together, creating a cute crossbody that will make you want to use leather in all your bag making projects.

What about using vinyl or faux leather? We recommend using genuine leather for this pattern as the edges can be left raw and still look fantastic. It's also difficult to find faux leather or vinyl that's thick/stiff enough for this pattern. Genuine leather is usually available in thicker varieties which is more suitable for this bag. You’ll also find that leather will wear better with use, particularly on the raw edges where the base meets the side.

Please do not reproduce or share this pattern in any way or claim it as your own design. I’m happy for you to sell bags made from this design on a home-based production scale. If you’d like to share your creations on social media, you can use the tag #nosewcrossbody
