The Blossom Shoulder/Crossbody is a small bag featuring a unique pleated side seam. The pleating is reminiscent of petals on a blossoming flower, and adds a “slouchy” effect to an otherwise structured bag. The Blossom can also be made without the pleating, giving it a simple, yet classy profile. It can be worn as a shoulder bag under the arm or as a crossbody.
The bag features a zippered gusset closure for the main compartment, an exterior zipper pocket, an interior zipper pocket, an optional zipper overlay, and an interior slip pocket (the perfect size for a coordinating Mustard Seed wallet).
The finished dimensions of the pleated version are 9 1⁄2”w x 6 1⁄2”h x 4”d, and 9 1⁄2”w x 7 1⁄2”h x 4”d without the pleats.
Whether running errands or out for a night on the town, this bag is roomy enough to carry the essentials without weighing you down.
We hope you enjoy making the Blossom Shoulder/ Crossbody, and would love to see your versions. Please be sure to post them in the Cherishing Today Designs Facebook Group.
