The Walkies (Doggie) Crossbody Bag is a simple to sew fully lined crossbody cellphone pouch with a front pocket, a snap closing flap and an optional space for your doggie waste bags. It’s ideal as a doggie walking bag, just big enough to carry your phone, keys, a bit of cash, a few dog treats…and there’s an optional slot on the front of the bag where you can carry your doggie waste bags and easily pull the bag out through the slot in the pocket. Perfect!

But it’s also ideal for everyone else too, even if you don’t have a dog. It’s a nice lightweight bag, just enough for carrying essentials for an evening out or lunch with friends. Big enough to hold your phone, some cards or cash, and a lipstick and keys for date night. Everyone should sew one of these quick and easy grab and go bags!

This easy crossbody bag is Fat Quarter friendly, a quick project, very light on materials, no zippers, and requires no printing of pattern pieces. Ideal if you don’t have a printer at home. This is a measure and cut pattern. Follow the simple cutting chart using a ruler and rotary cutter, or measure onto the fabric, mark and cut with scissors. There are only three sizes to cut, all rectangles, so it’s very easy. The back/front/lining, the pocket, and the flap. Quicker than printing a pattern!
