Zabelia Triple Zip Bag - PDF sewing pattern

 If you like a small cross body bag with plenty of pockets, then the Zabelia Triple Zip Bag is perfect for you! On the bag's exterior, there are 2 zipper pockets on the front, one hidden zipper pocket that is perfect for your keys and lip balm and one visible zipper pocket. On the back of the bag's exterior is one large slip pocket perfect for your phone.

Inside the bag, you'll find 3 more pockets: two slip pockets and one zipper pocket that is identical to the front visible zipper pocket. 

The main closure of the bag is a top zipper and it has a removable cross body strap in case you want to carry it as a large clutch.
