The CiCi Defender PDF Sewing Pattern by Sew Yours combines the functionality of an everyday crossbody bag with a dedicated concealed carry compartment. Designed with an ambidextrous, dual-zipper compartment on the back exterior, the CiCi Defender provides access from either side while offering separate storage for everyday essentials such as your wallet, phone, and passport.
The concealed carry compartment can accommodate a compatible hook-and-loop holster when soft-sided loop Velcro is added. The bag also features a large front slip pocket with flap closure, interior pockets, an adjustable crossbody strap, and a convenient grab-and-go handle. Finished with binding for a neat interior, this pattern is designed for intermediate to experienced bag makers.
