McKenna Bag Pattern

The McKenna Bag Pattern by Around The Bobbin is a cross-body bag with an adjustable strap that is the perfect size to carry everyday. The flap is quilted and has instructions for an edging that can be sewn in the same or a different fabric to help make your bag really stand out! There are lots of pockets, including a front pocket for a cell phone, and subdivided pockets on the interior front and back as well as a center zip pocket to hold valuables. Even though this bag is only 5-1/2″ H x 9″ W and 2″ deep, it holds a lot and keeps it very organized! This bag pattern has pattern pieces for the pocket and flap.
