How to Make a Drawstring Crossbody Bag for Kids, Adjustable Crossbody Webbing Strap | Easy Sewing | made by JOJO

Introducing an easy to make crossbody bag for kids.

Pictures and Description

I made a bag using fabric with a cute pattern.

My daughter likes this bag very much.

She took it with her when she went to the museum for her school class.

It is a good bag for simple things such as water bottles, cell phones, and purse.

There is an inner pocket inside.

Make a bag that is easy to make and pretty!

 

 

 

Materials

Outer : Cotton Oxford, Lining : Cotton

1cm (⅜") seam allowance included.

You can download the semicircle pattern at the bottom of this post.

Safety Pin, Fiberfill, Needle&Thread, Forceps or Tweezers

How to make

 1. Let’s make the pocket first. Fold it in half so that the wrong side is facing 

and sew it, leaving an opening.

2. Clip seam allowances diagonally 

and fold the seam allowance inward. It's better if you iron it.

3. Turn inside out through the opening and sew the folded part.

4. On the right side of the lining, sew the pocket 8cm (3¼in) below the top.

5. Fold the wrong side out, leave an opening, and sew the side lines.

6. Open the seam allowance, fold the bottom part, and sew to complete the lining.

7. Sew the side seam of the outer fabric, leaving an opening for the string.

8. Open the seam allowance on both sides, fold the bottom part, and sew.

9. Insert a piece of webbing strap to a square ring 

and fix it by lightly sewing on the side seam.

Fix the webbing strap as well.

10. Turn the lining inside out, put it into the outer fabric, and sew together.

11. Turn inside out.

12. Shape and sew the top once more.

13. Sew twice at a width of 2cm (⅞in) from the top to make a tube for the cotton string.

14. Sew up the opening.

15. Tie a cotton string to a safety pin and thread the string into the tube.

14. Fold in half and sew with a seam allowance of 0.5cm (¼").

15. Running stitch, and at the end, insert a needle between the threads and pull it.

16. Stuff with fiberfill, insert the drawstring knot, pull it, and tie a knot.

19. Insert the webbing strap into the buckle, hang it on the square ring,

 insert it into the center of the buckle, and sew.
