Tutorial: Reversible and convertible cross body tote

This cross body tote is both reversible and convertible, giving 6 options for carrying it. Sachiko from Tea Rose Home shares a tutorial showing how to make it. It has two options for handles – a long cross body strap and also short straps to carry it in your hand. When you carry it cross body, you can choose whether to have the top folded up or down. And of course it’s reversible, so you can choose any three of these options with the reverse side showing, too.
