The front of this crossbody bag has been created using the waistbands of jeans in charcoal and black and patchwork strips in red and orange fabrics left over from other projects. One side of the bag uses a waistband and includes the stud closures on the bottom corner as a design feature.

The back of the bag was cut from the backside of a pair of charcoal jeans and I have added another strip of patchwork along the bottom.

It is lined with dark grey sheeting fabric cut from a Star Wars doona cover - you get a hint of a light sabre inside. The interior holds a zipped pocket on the back wall.

The long strap has a slide that makes it adjustable so that you can sit it in the most comfortable position for you.

This bag is a fabulous size for everyday use. It is the size and shape I carry myself, I can fit my phone, sunnies, shopping bags, makeup pouch, coin purse, and even a book to take to waiting rooms.

The bag hardware is silver coloured and the top zip is black.

Size: 30cm across x 24m high. Approximately 8cm across the base front to back and flattening to close at the top zip.

The design name of this bag is the Iris Crossbody, named after the Greek goddess of rainbows, and suggested by one of my daughter’s favourite songs.
