This fabulous bag can be made as either a backpack or a cross-body bag! There are pretty flap pockets on the front, as well as both a zip closure and flap at the top of the bag. With an inner zipper pocket, you’ll have lots of places to store the essentials that you need to keep within easy reach!

The pdf pattern includes 20 pages of sewing instructions, complete with 44 step-by-step color photos.
