Pattern Details

The Sorella is a designer-inspired hip bag that can also be worn as a crossbody or sling. Not your typical belt bag — the Sorella is an elevated take on a convenient, hands-free favorite. This versatile bag is small enough to carry anywhere and large enough to hold your phone and other essentials, making it the perfect travel companion.

Bag Features

Converts from a belt bag to a crossbody sling
Two strap options to choose from
Flap with turn lock closure
Zipper pocket that fits a large cell phone
Fully lined interior with two card slots

Comfortable for Extended Wear
The flat back, and slim design make the Sorella a comfortable, hands-free bag you can wear all day long. The thoughtful design minimizes bulk and distributes the weight of items inside.

Ideal for Travel
Keep your items close by when you’re out and about with the Sorella. The zipper pocket is perfect for your cell phone, and the main compartment includes card slots so you can skip the wallet.

Adjustable & Removable Straps
No need to choose between a classic adjustable strap or a webbing strap — the Sorella pattern has instructions for both. Use the O-rings to easily swap one for another at any time.

Sewing Machine Requirements

It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather or cotton canvas, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.
