The Alyssa Hip Bag Digital Pattern

This is a downloadable PDF pattern - best downloaded and saved to a computer, flash drive, or in a cloud service. 

The Alyssa is a very classy-looking hip bag - not a traditional style fanny pack - worn with a matching or purchased belt. Convert it to a crossbody/shoulder bag with a sophisticated chain strap, or change up the look for the evening to a clutch with a matching wristlet. The Alyssa Hip Bag will get you through the day with a mere change of the strap and without having to move things from one purse to the other for your different activities or wardrobe style. 

Dress it up with a metal flap edge and magnetic snap, or go understated with a turn lock. Designed for leather, faux leather/vinyl, and cork with a cotton lining. If you choose to use quilting cotton or cotton canvas for the exterior, increase the amount of SF101 required. If using cotton, your bag will be slightly less structured. This bag is perfect for showing off that beautiful fabric you "just had to have." 

Interior features:

• A front accordion-style pocket secured with a magnetic snap or turn lock on the flap
• Interior zipper pocket
• 3 Interior slip pockets
• 4 card slots
• D-ring for wristlet
