I’ve just launched my latest ita bag pattern: The Ita Crossbody Bag! It’s a simple, rounded-rectangle crossbody with an adjustable strap and rounded top zipper. It has a divided slip pocket on the inside, opposite the pin pocket access panel. The zipper for the pin pocket is mostly-invisible; I designed it this way to balance the difficulty of making the bag with functionality and looks.
This pattern also comes in two sizes, which is a first for me! The normal size is about 12″ wide, and the mini version is about 9″ wide. The larger one is great for carrying larger things like books and displaying as many pins as possible; the mini is great for everyday use while showing off your very favorite pins.
The pattern can be purchased on Ko-fi. Thank you for reading and I hope you like it!
UPDATE: This pattern is now available in a bundle with my other ita bag patterns at a discount! Check it out here!
I’m currently making this bag and were having a heck of a time trying to understand the inside zipper panel that would make the pin pannel in the bag we thought it was originally going to have one zipper the main one but now that we have it half built were trying to understand how the pin pannel is set up as the zipper is upside down when the pretty print side of the fabric is facing correctly
Hello, I recently purchased this pattern. And I’ve been having a heck of time trying to understand the window frame portion of the pattern. I’m not quite sure I understand the instructions.
