This cross-body style bag uses the “shell” stitch and has long strands of red yarn twisted to look like flowing hair over the flap. A purple starfish is stitched in the hair to complete the look.

The bag straps are perfectly sized to be used to display pins for pin trading. And the bag itself is big enough to hold a standard autograph book and pen.

This bag was designed for a 6 year old. But you can adjust the length of the strap to be bigger or smaller.
