What You'll Make

This DIY kit lets you craft a compact crossbody phone bag from genuine leather. The finished piece is a hands-free way to carry your phone and small essentials, with an adjustable and removable strap so you can wear it across your body or over your shoulder.

You assemble it yourself — every step is guided by detailed instructions. It's a rewarding project that results in a functional leather accessory you can use every day.

What's in the Kit

Your kit includes everything you need to sew the bag:

• Pre-cut genuine leather panels (with holes already punched for stitching)
• Waxed thread and needles
• Gold-tone hardware, including the clip closure and strap attachments
• Step-by-step instructions

No extra tools are required — just follow the guide and enjoy the process.

Skill Level and Process

This kit is suitable for beginners and crafters aged 8 and up. The leather comes pre-punched, so you don't need to cut or pierce anything. You'll learn the traditional saddle stitch, a two-needle technique that creates a strong, durable seam. The instructions are clear, and the project is designed to be enjoyable and achievable, even if you've never worked with leather before.

Dimensions and Materials

The finished bag measures approximately W: 4.0 in, H: 6.7 in, D: 2.0 in (1 inch = 2.54 cm). It fits smartphones with screens up to 6.7 inches. The exterior is genuine leather, and the interior features a faux leather lining. The hardware is gold-toned, and the strap is adjustable and removable.

Why Hand-Stitching Lasts Longer

Machine stitching on bags often uses a single thread that can unravel if it breaks. The saddle stitch you'll use in this kit is different: it uses two needles and two threads that interlock in each hole. If one stitch breaks, the rest of the seam holds firm. This is why hand-stitched leather goods are known for their durability — they can last for decades with proper care.
