Crossbody Sling Bag
The Crossbody Sling Bag is a DIY project of a different sort. It's a bag making challenge project for those who have experience sewing with only a pattern (i.e., no tutorial). There are five pages of pattern templates to print, cut and assemble. Three additional rectangular templates are required, for which you have been given measurements to create yourself.
While there are over 60 construction photos and 47 pages to guide you, THERE ARE NO STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS. This PDF is NOT a typical sewing tutorial. If you choose to purchase, you acknowledge that you are aware of this limitation.
Supplies required (note that all measurements are given in imperial only):
- 1.5” webbing for the strap (overall length to be determined by your preference)
- 2 connectors for the strap
- 2 x 7” zippers (for upper zippered pocket and flap pocket)
- 1 x 9” zipper (for main pocket)
- 1.5" length of hook and loop tape (velcro)
- 2” wide double folded bias binding (3 yards or DIY your own from one fat quarter using this method)
- Exterior fabric* (1/2 to 1 yard, depending on width and any directional print)
- Lining fabric (no more than 1/2 yard)
- 2.5" wide ribbon; optional: 10" for diagonal pocket trim; 22.5" for back of flap pocket; 5.75" for card slots
* The pattern can be laid out on a half yard of 44" fabric if you are not fussy about grain lines or directionality of print.
