EASY CROSS BODY PHONE/WALLET BAG TUTORIAL

Just two pieces of fabric to make this three pocket handy phone cross body bag with an additional bonus wallet to match! I hope you enjoy this tutorial:)
Join me for Truelove Family stories (which I have many, as a mother of 10 kids), Mothering Autism, with our Maxwell on our many fun car rides, and Free quilting class and sewing lessons! And as in a 'classroom' setting, my tutorials are approximately 1/2 hour+ long....So Join me in my home sewing room, out and about and trying to make all sorts of quilted goodies! Be aware ~ I like to chat and probably repeat myself over and over, (and stutter sometimes), and if this annoys you, then view elsewhere - but, if patient, you hopefully will learn a new method or technique and get an insight into a very large family and their crazy fun:)
And as always: Love From The Trueloves;)

Jean thanks for sharing this. I better get busy sewing for my girls!!! 😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so glad you're going to make some for your girls! 😊

[@virginiaturner7836]

Thank you for figuring all this out!!! Many blessings! I don't do centimeters either....

[@grumpy_poo]

well, fabric is sold by the yard.... centimetres confuse me too.🤔

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I’m with you on the centimeters!

This is a really cute bag. I don't have any dog-leash type clasps, but I have O and D rings, and squares and rectangles. And a bunch of KAM snaps. Sewing a couple rings to the purse, I can attach each strap end with KAM snaps, and add a few snaps on the strap so the length can be adjusted. I live in a tiny town, so that's handier for me than going to the craft store in the next county, or ordering stuff from WAWAK. Especially in winter. Thanks for the tutorial , from a Michigan Troll.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great idea!! :) Use what you have. Thanks for watching me:)

[@susanmei9980]

@@OrlaQuirk fantastic idea!💡

[@Melissa-sb7vn]

Love your video, what a wonderful gift to make. Love seeing you and how you teach.❤😂

[@karenkay8928]

Thank you Jean. These are cute.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so glad you like them!

[@wilmastewart6887]

Jean, I was just thinking wouldn't it be cute to make a little headband or scrunchie in the same fabric to go along with this .😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

YES!! Sweet idea:)

[@goldenfd475]

This is a great tutorial Jean and I am already mentally shopping my stash for fabric. I'm in my 70's and still like to walk but my husband and daughter worry that I don't have my phone with me in case of emergencies but it is too big to fit in my pocket. I shall make myself one of these which will be perfect. Hope Ian, Maxwell and all the family are fine; blessings from the Welsh valleys

[@margaretnewman4464]

Dear Jean, thanks for another great idea. These will make perfect gifts for family and friends. Take care, love to all the Trueloves 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thank you! You too!

[@GloriaHasberry]

Thanks, Jean! I am excited about this crossbody bag and wallet! Also, I hope the Trueloves are all doing well. We have our Assembly on the 22nd of this month.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Gloria:) We are on the mend, slowly but surely:) Happy Assembly Day:)

[@sondrabrown442]

This will be perfect for Ethan’s phone and ID card. He hates taking his phone places because of his germaphobe issues so he’s been asking for some kind of bag that he can put it in that is washable. We go to Costco together and lose each other and end up circling around, a bit frustrating 😅. Thanks so much Jean , you saved me having to figure this out 😂 ❤❤❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Yes! Great idea:) Dear Ethan ~ soon all our issues will be a thing of the past!! :) Hugs!

[@susanmei9980]

You did a great job with this video! Everything was clear and easy to see. 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 These all turned out so pretty and after watching the video, it looks really simple to make. Thx for sharing. Appreciate your time. I let some commercials play just for you! 😂 🌷

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks Susan:)

[@marlahanks7278]

Hi Jean! Those are just lovely 🥰🥰 Your phone backing matches the one so well!! Awhile back I was going to get Kam Snaps & the tool to attach them with & never did. Maybe now is the time to get them!! Folks probably need these for Christmas presents😊😊

[@Nonna_Tina]

Thank you! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Super!! Thanks for watching me:)

[@grumpy_poo]

Gorgeous and finished so perfectly. You could also use velcro on the flap so it is adjustable. ideal for travel documents.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Great idea!

[@lynetterene]

I'm looking forward to watching this...... just got home from work....thanks for sharing 🙂

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thanks, Jean! I like these a lot! I think I have seen these tutorials, too! I don’t know how people come up with such great ideas!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm glad you like them! I’m always looking for new things to try. (and other people provide such great ideas!!)

[@sullysmom5050]

Great project. Thanks Jean

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Thanks so much:)

[@delwyngraham4033]

That’s awesome will try with a younger one to make the folded technique is so cool😊

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It’s definitely a fun and easy technique!

[@Mandela219]

Oh i love this! Thank you for sharing this is such a cute idea to sew up for my nieces this year!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

I'm so pleased!:)

[@lindaeselunas1639]

Wow! You are so creative, the cross body bags look so professional, excellent job!!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks so much:)

[@ladyradiana]

Love the oiver the shoulder bag. I have been using shoulder bags because I use a walker and it's so convienent. Seeing this video reminds me of a project I want to undertake but wonder if you might show us how. In an effort to stay organized as frugally as I can I purchased inexpensive large dishpans from walmart which hold my papercrafting supplies among other itens. It seems like it would be simple to design and sew a cover for them but I don't trust myself, I would imagine it takes elastic along with fabric but I'm hoping you might think about this project. Thank you so much Jean.

[@sewterie]

hi Jean. I loved it enough to get up and make it. Thanks for sharing. I will let you know how it went.

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Oh yes! Please!

[@sharonbarker999]

Very cleaver! I love it!

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

Aw thanks! :)

[@alexandriaspann8194]

if you dont mind me asking where did you get that black and white fabric its just so lovely I need some in my life lol.. Also I hope you and your lovely family had a wonderful Thanksgiving

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It was from a local fabric store, but i bought it AGES ago...but you can find similar fabric online probably. Thanks so much for watching me:)

[@sharonwilson8208]

Oh! I was almost getting lost with the pressing. I understood but confused why. Then, just like that, it all made sense. 😅 Geeze, nothing slow about me 😅. Just one of those days. I spent the last 2 days fixing my ex-husband's shirts, just buttons. Then onto a pile of work pants for my soon to be son-in-law. He used E-6000 glue to fix the crotch of 6 pair of pants! Can't fix that! But, reattached a collar to a t-shirt, and fixed a pair of underwear. Then my daughter's costumes. You know the "quilter's don't do...". Well, they know I sewed clothing for my girls. Yay! Your video came up on my tablet just as I finished. This looks so cute. You can dress it up or down, depending on the fabric. A lot of people my daughter's age wear lanyards to carry small wallets for debit cards, credit cards, ID, and electronic keys. Your bags are adorable and fairly easy. Thanks Jean 😊❤

[@jeantruelovetruelovequiltsfory]

It sounds like you've been busy!
