The Songbird Crossbody is a small bag that has two zippered pouches that fold, or flap, over the body
of the bag similar to the wings of a bird. There is a slip pocket between each flap. The flaps can lay resting on their own sides, or they can overlap each other on either side. When they overlap they form a unique opposing angle feature. Under the outside flaps, this bag features a slip pocket on one side and zipper pocket on the other. It can be worn as a shoulder bag or as a crossbody. If you’re looking for a more simple style, this bag can easily be made with only one pouch and one angled flap. Whether running errands or out for a night on the town, stay organized and have everything you need right at your fingertips with this hip and classy bag.
We hope you enjoy making the Songbird Crossbody, and would love to see your versions. Please be sure to post them in the Cherishing Today Designs Facebook Group.
