This is a leather PDF pattern to create a cross-body bag that would be a perfect gift for teenagers.
The Bilander leather bag is a light-weight turned bag made from a single panel of leather. The Bag is designed for cross-body or on-shoulder carry, and it can hold everyday essentials. As an example, my daughter carries in hers a phone, keys, a compact wallet (The Lobster wallet), a lip balm, a small mirror (she is a teenager!) and a pack of paper napkins.
A summery bag with a unique design and youth vibes! The leather PDF template includes a pattern to make an adjustable leather strap. The second option is to make two variations of a fixed-length leather strap using the included patterns.
Crafting DS Leather Goods patterns is an exciting way to challenge yourself, grow your skill set and attract new customers with modern and innovative designs. Have fun making The Bilander Bag, Deyan
