Crossbody bag and another zucchini

The crossbody bag is done! That is one thing I had ready for the shows this weekend The bag part finished around 9" wide by 10 1/2" long. I used the same fabric for the lining as I did for the strap.

I added a cute bee charm to the zipper pull

I did change a couple things from the pattern. I made a box corner instead of the pinched corner the pattern showed

I made the strap adjustable and used hardware so the strap could be unhooked.

A change I will make to the next bag will be to move the position of the tabs for the strap. The bag works fine, but I think with using D-rings and a swivel hook it makes more sense to have the tabs at the top. The bag came together pretty fast and the zipper was easy to install. I think I will also add an interior pocket. I need to write some notes and measurements, so I know what to change next time. I just might have to whip a couple more of these for gifts.  This bag could easily be made with one fabric instead of strips.

I looked at my zucchini plant last night to see how the one fruit was growing and it needed picked! In just a couple days it doubled in size!  I have another one that is about 4" long right now on that same plant.
