The Kijani Crossbody Bag is another great project from Sew Your Bag. The instructions were clear and give every step you need to complete a beautiful and useful bag. Each month’s project leaves me anxious for the next one!

I have really come to love the Ankara fabric and this bag pattern is so unique. It is not difficult, but you learn a lot of techniques you can use with other bags
Thank you Katherine!
