The Lil' Leah is a smaller crossbody size bag that was created from her big sister, The Leah Tote.

There are two sizes included in the pattern; the Skinny and the Minnie.

The Minnie was designed to carry a standard 16.9 oz water bottle (like an Aquafina or Dasani bottle), and the Skinny was designed to carry a taller, slimmer-style bottle.

Both versions have a front slip pocket with a magnetic snap closure on the front.

Inside, you will find a divided lining for the water bottle, a slip pocket, and credit card slots.

Any type of lining fabric can be used, but because the bag is designed to carry a water bottle, we recommend waterproof canvas.

The pattern includes 35 pages of written instructions, pattern pieces for non-square pieces (square pieces are a free download for those who purchase the pattern), component tabs, and over 160 step-by-step photos.

We have also included a tester inspiration section with photos to get those creative juices flowing!
