About The Christina Crossbody Bag:

“Christina” is a crossbody bag pattern for a bag made with 2 different fabrics (you can use fabric, cork, leather or vinyl). It features a fitted lid with a twist lock that covers the opening of a decorative 3D front pocket with a magnetic snap closure. There is a top handle with decorative rivets. The adjustable cross body strap is made with 2 different materials. Fro the lining I have used waterproof canvas (which will keep the content safe and dry if your bag gets wet). The waterproof canvas lining does not need extra interfacing to be sturdy. However, if you make it of regular fabric, you need interfacing. The lid, strap connectors and also the handle has to be made with a fabric that does not fray.

• Decorative front slip pocket with a magnetic snap.
• Zipper back pocket
• It has a fitted lid with a twist lock.
• Two colored top handle with decorative rivets.
• The adjustable cross body strap is made with 2 different materials.
• It comes with a side gusset that makes it spacious inside.
• The inside lining has a zipper pocket on one side and a slip pocket divided in two on the other.
• 14 decorative rivets placed on the handle, strap and strap connectors give extra strength to this bag
