The Julicita Rainbow Crossbody PDF Sewing Pattern has everything you need to create this gorgeous, customizable crossbody bag in three separate sizes and shapes: a vertical version, a horizontal version, and a square version.

Each version of the Julicita Rainbow Crossbody features a front accent panel that is easily adaptable to your personal aesthetic. Follow my instructions to build an art-deco-inspired rainbow radial array, or feature a single piece of a favorite fabric or some custom embroidery. This bag will especially appeal to makers who appreciate lots of room for creativity in their process!

The meticulous instructions and copious photos and illustrations make this bag a great choice for a confident beginner ready to graduate from simple zipper pouches and tote bags to a full-featured lined bag with zipper compartments and an adjustable strap. I recommend that beginners work with quilting cotton for their first Julicita Rainbow bag. Experienced sewists with industrial machines can definitely venture into vinyls, leathers, and other heavier materials.

Finished dimensions:

Vertical version: approx. 8" wide x 9.5" tall x 2" deep
Horizontal version: approx. 11" wide x 8.5" tall x 2" deep
Square version: approx. 9" wide x 9" tall x 2" deep

Material requirements:

See material requirements image for details on each variation of the bag.
