Pecan and Black Cross-Over Bag

There are times when rather than carrying a large bag you want something smaller.  This Pecan and Black patchwork cross-over bag is stylish, practical and compact.  There is an attractive button and loop fastening on the front.

The same abstract design is on both sides of the bag.  The bag is fully lined in black and there is a zippered pocket on the inside.  The pocket lining is in Pecan to match the Pecan on the front of the bag.  Between the layers is some foam which provides the bag with extra structure.  There is also foam in the long strap and this makes the bag comfortable over the shoulder.  The plain black strap is long so that the bag can be worn across the body.

The bag has been quilted in narrow vertical lines.

The approximate measurements of the bag are W10" x H9½" or W25.5cms x H24 cms.  The strap measures approximately 25" or 63.5 cms. The zippered pocket measures approximately W7" x H7½" or 18 cms or 18.5 cms.

The bag was made on a domestic machine and finished by hand.  The bag is machine washable on a gentle setting (although particular care will be needed to protect the button).
