How to Make a DIY Crossbody Bag. Easy DIY Cross body Bag (Free Printable Pattern). Anti-theft pouch.
Supplies:
- 50 cm of fabric (140 cm wide);
- Fabric scraps for the "crazy" (patchwork/collage) section;
- 1 zipper, 30 cm long (can be trimmed later);
- 1 button;
- 1 rectangle (20 cm x 30 cm) of pool carpeting (or similar durable, stiff synthetic fabric).
Instructions:
Seam allowances are not included; please add 1 cm.
1. Create the "crazy" (patchwork/collage) section for the flap. Add a seam allowance only along the edge that will be sewn to the strap.

3. Fold the pouch lining fabric in half. Turn under the hem along both edges and sew the zipper on flat, ensuring that the zipper pull is on the top side when the lining is turned right-side out, as shown in photo 3.

4. Place the pool-lining fabric (the "carpet") against the wrong side of the fabric intended for the front of the pouch. It is normal for this lining to be smaller than the outer fabric.
There is a 1 cm seam allowance all around, and an extra 4 cm at the top for attaching the pouch to the straps on the back.
Quilt the layers at 3 cm intervals and attach the front of the pouch to the zipper. (see photo 4)

8. Baste the flap and the lining onto one of the wide sides of the strap. Stitch in place. Tuck everything inside the back section of the pouch, along with the other wide end and the remaining narrow end of the strap.
Fold the back section of the pouch over and stitch 5 mm above the flap, using thread that matches the fabric color. (See photos 7 and 8.) Sew on the button.
