If you’re anything like me there just aren’t enough hours in the day and swapping between bags, going from one place to the next, it’s just never-ending! So, I created the Quick Errand Crossbody!
This is a neat little crossbody that you can use when you’re out and about, nipping to the shops quickly, walking the dog, taking the kids to their activities, or travelling. It’s quick and light and has space for all the important things like your phone, and keys and a space for cash and cards.
But now it’s time to go to work or out for the day, and it’s time to change bags! Don’t worry, you don’t have to think about moving everything over, just take off the crossbody strap, drop the whole thing into your everyday bag and now you have a neat little purse pouch! This super neat little package can go everywhere and is perfect for when you’re on the run and don’t want to take a big bag with you, it makes things quick and simple, and you always know where everything is.
It can be sewn with or without raw edges, you can choose whichever you prefer!
The finished size of the bag is 17.5cm x 12cm x 4cm or 7“ x 4 1/2” x 1 1/2“
