Quick answer
The Crosscut Sewing Belt Bag Strap Kit is a bag making supply that provides the webbing and hardware needed to complete the Crosscut Sewing Belt Bag Pattern, letting you design your own strap without sourcing separate components.
What the kit includes and what it doesn't
The kit contains 1 1/2 yards of 35mm polyester webbing, a 1 1/2" swivel clasp, a 1 1/2" rectangle ring, and a 1 1/2" sliding buckle. This is everything you need to create a fully adjustable strap for your belt bag. However, it does not include the belt bag pattern itself, fabric, thread, or any sewing tools. You'll need to purchase the Crosscut Sewing Belt Bag Pattern separately and supply your own fabric and basic sewing supplies.
The polyester webbing is available in several color options, so you can match or contrast with your bag fabric. The hardware is nickel-plated, giving a clean, modern look that works with most fabric choices.
When to buy the kit vs. sourcing your own supplies
If you already have webbing and hardware on hand, you may not need this kit. But for most sewists, buying the kit saves time and ensures the components are compatible. The 35mm width webbing and 1 1/2" hardware are sized to work together, so you won't end up with a buckle that doesn't fit the strap or a swivel clasp that's too small. The kit also eliminates the guesswork of matching hardware finishes and webbing colors.
The main trade-off is limited customization. If you want a wider strap, a different hardware finish (like brass or black), or a specific webbing texture, you'll need to source those parts individually. The kit is designed for convenience and compatibility, not maximum flexibility.
How to decide if this kit is right for you
- You want a complete strap solution: If you're making the Crosscut Sewing Belt Bag Pattern and don't want to hunt down webbing and hardware separately, this kit gives you everything in one package. Just add fabric and your sewing machine.
- You need a specific color or finish: The kit comes in several webbing color options, but the hardware is always nickel-plated. If you need black, brass, or antique bronze hardware, you'll need to buy those parts individually. Check the available colors before ordering to ensure the webbing matches your project vision.
- You want a wider or narrower strap: The 35mm (about 1 3/8") webbing is a standard belt bag width. If you prefer a 1" or 2" strap, this kit won't work. You'll need to source webbing and hardware in your desired size.
- You're a beginner looking for a manageable project: This kit simplifies the strap-making process, making it a good choice for sewists who are comfortable with basic sewing but new to bag making. The pattern is sold separately and includes step-by-step instructions. Pair this kit with the Crosscut Sewing Belt Bag Pattern for a guided project.
