This pattern shows you how to easily make a men’s tough crossbody bag. It has an adjustable crossbody strap and magnetic snap closure. A generous size, great for everyday use, large enough to accommodate an iPad and all his essentials and strong enough for the hardest working man!

 

Fully lined throughout with a feature phone pocket on the front. The instructions walk you through, in simple steps, how to construct the roomy box cornered bag including how to create adjustable webbing straps, and attaching magnetic clasp closures. The bag also has an anti theft strap to attach your keys

 

Skill level: This is an easy pattern. Suitable for anyone who has tried a few patterns before

Approximate finished dimensions:
10.25 x 8.75 inches (26 x 22 cm)

 

I made this example up in Harris tweed, but it is suitable for most medium weight fabrics including tweeds, denim, medium weight cottons and furnishing cottons.
Make from just half a yard each outer and lining.

Please note the Craggan and Evelyn are the same sewing pattern, just photographed in different fabrics suitable for men or women.

 

12 pages of full colour tutorial style instructions with detailed photos will walk you through making a professional looking bag in no time.

  1. Amy Butler

    I have 35 years of professional sewing experience and this is one of the best written patterns I have ever run across!! Although not for a beginners beginner, it would be fairly easy if you have a little sewing experience!
    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pattern!

  2. Jamie Wolgast

    This was the first time I had ever made a messenger bag. It’s got a Kraft-Tex outer and wool lining. The pattern was very easy to follow and I’m happy with what I made.

  3. Pete Jobson

    Hard to find a good man bag pattern. This is great, easy to follow, lots of pics. My first time making a bag and turned out perfectly

  4. juanita0909

    Muy bueno y muy clara la explicación

  5. evanroames

    Very pleased to find such a great pattern for a man. Easy to download. Quite a few pages, but so worth it ! Meticulously written with wonderful photos. Any pattern that designer Amy Butler takes time to review with such high marks, I’m in! Do yourself a favor, take D. Spencer-Ogg’s Etsy class (especially if you are in love with Harris Tweed fabric). Purchased several of her patterns. Can’t wait to get to them. She also sent me a coupon! How very kind!

  6. Karen

    Great bag pattern. Very pleased the way it turned out. I added a shoulder cushion for the strap.

  7. Daniel

    Coming from a basic sewing background, the detailed instructions were really helpful while making this bag. I used a lighter fabric for the outer parts of the bag and substantialized it with thicker interfacing and I think it turned out really well!
