Small Hip Bag

So, I had a little time yesterday to "play".  I have been wanting to make a small cross-body bag with skinny straps for those quick errands that require a wallet, keys and sunglasses....you know what I'm talking about!

I first scouted the net to see if I could find something, but nothing really screamed at me....so I came up with this simple design.
The design is simple.  Two outer slip pockets (one on each side), a skinny adjustable strap (tie - no hardware), a zipper closure and a plain interior (no pockets).

I actually liked the bag so much, I made a second one....

And, I think I'll be making even more of these.....
I'm contemplating drafting a pattern for it...

What do you think?  Would you purchase a pattern for this bag?

UPDATE:   I am currently working on the pattern for this bag and it will be available for purchase soon!

    3. Yes, I definitely would love to have a pattern for this bag! I love the uncovered slip pocket on the outside and would like a few card slots and a zippered pocket on the inside. When do you plan to publish the pattern for sale?

  12. Actually I would not buy a pattern. Your good design is simple enough to look at and make my own pattern. If one has the skills to sew this project I would think they would have the skills to make the pattern which is a series of rectangles of various sizes. Not trying to knock your project because it looks great and seems to be very functional.
