Meet the Melody Cross-body Bag Sewing Pattern – Your Next Favorite Everyday Bag
PiiiepsDesigns

The Melody Crossbody Bag is a must-try cross-body bag project. Designed with everyday use in mind, this bag balances function, form, and craftsmanship in all the right ways.


Melody’s adjustable bottom is one of its standout features — it lets you easily expand the bag’s depth depending on how much you need to carry. The main compartment is safely enclosed under a flap with a zippered pocket, offering quick access to your essentials while keeping everything secure. A back zipper pocket and interior slip and zip pockets make organizing smaller items effortless.


Sewists will appreciate the thoughtful construction and clear instructions. The PDF pattern includes:


  • Over 180 step-by-step photos

  • Full-size printable pattern pieces in multiple formats (A4, US Letter, and A0)

  • Measurements in both inches and centimeters

  • And a lookbook packed with creative inspiration from pattern testers worldwide


The Melody Crossbody Bag Pattern is rated intermediate (3/5) and takes about seven hours to complete. It’s a satisfying project for confident beginners looking to level up their bag-making skills or experienced sewists who enjoy a well-designed, detail-rich pattern.


Whether you choose a structured canvas, cork, or a statement print, Melody transforms into a timeless, versatile cross-body bag that’s as practical as it is stylish.
