CEETY Boxy Crossbody Bag – free modern bag pattern
Damjana loves boxy bags but always needed a little more space, so she fixed that. The CEETY crossbody bag pattern is slightly roomier than typical boxy crossbodies, with a clean, modern shape that suits many styles. The construction is fast for an intermediate bag-maker, the proportions work for everyday carry (phone, keys, wallet, a small notebook), and the boxy base keeps the bag standing up on its own when you set it down.
Boxy crossbodies are the bag style that has held up through ten years of trends — if you sew one in a neutral leather-look or a tweed, you’ll reach for it again next year.
— Mayra
What you’ll want on hand
- Cotton canvas duck fabric — structures the boxy shape without heavy interfacing
- Pellon SF101 woven fusible interfacing — the bag-maker’s go-to stabilizer
- Magnetic snap closures (set) — clean closure that doesn’t fight the bag shape
