Free pattern Frankenstein Crossbody Bag from Trastadas en Cueros

Free pattern Frankenstein crossbody bag from Trastadas en Cueros.

From the author

I will call this bag "Frankenstein" because, without a doubt, it was the roughest project of Trastadas en Cueros. For this I decided to use a very damaged piece of leather that I had stored for many years, and although my original the idea was a little different, when I had already sewn the second gusset, one of my cats ate the straps and the gusset. a piece of the main cover, the concealment of which cost me my life.

Since I no longer had leather, I had to work hard, which meant changing the strap system and clasp. In the video you can see part of the original idea (I can't hide it), but following the steps does not affect the end result...unless your cats eat skin like mine.
