Cross Body Bag

I have been in love with these bags for sometime. I planned on buying one, they were $25 and up, reasonable price I found a lot I loved but were more then what I was willing to pay. When I could not find one that I just loved in my price range, I decided to just make it.  I got my fabric. I wanted diff fabric but with all the same colors as much as possible.  I found this fabric and knew exactly what I wanted to make with it.

I looked for patterns trying to find something that seemed easy.  I am not a bag sewer, I suck at them, I do not do them the correct way and I get frustrated easily when making them. I couldn't find a tutorial directions nothing. I started just looking at other tutorials I had found online to find your basic instructions.
I did this bag slowly making sure I was doing it right. I started with my strap then did the sides  and pocket, then finished the bag on my third day I didn't put a snap or zipper on it. I like to be able to get in my bag without having to unzip or anything. I went to bed thinking of how I was going to put it together.  I woke up and went straight to sewing. I was very pleased with my patience and the outcome.
