The Slouchy Sling Sewing Pattern
The Slouchy Sling Bag Sewing Pattern (PDF)
Beginner-friendly bag sewing pattern with step-by-step video tutorial
Create your own slouchy sling bag, designed to be both practical and versatile.
This bag is:
* Large enough for everyday use or even an overnight stay
* Fully lined with an interior zip pocket
* Finished with a zip closure on the main compartment
* Designed with a large exterior pocket secured with velcro
* Customisable with a crossbody or shoulder strap option
SKILL LEVEL:
Confident Beginner
This pattern is suitable for beginners looking to build their sewing skills.
While the construction includes techniques such as working with zips, creating a pocket, and attaching a strap, each step is broken down clearly with detailed written instructions, illustrations, and a full video tutorial.
The pattern is designed to help you learn new skills while confidently completing your bag.
FINISHED BAG MEASUREMENTS:
Height: 35 cm / 13.8 inches
Width: 46 cm / 18 inches
Depth: 18.5 cm / 7.3 inches
Strap (shoulder): 52.5 cm / 20.7 inches
Strap (crossbody): 77 cm / 30.3 inches
(See photo 5 for additional measurement details.)
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:
Based on 137 cm (54 inches) fabric width:
* 110 cm / 43 inches exterior fabric
* 110 cm / 43 inches lining fabric
* 140 cm / 55 inches iron-on interfacing (optional for lightweight fabrics)
INTERFACING:
Interfacing the entire bag is optional, however the interior pocket must be interfaced to prevent sagging and ensure durability.
If you are choosing to interface the pocket only, you will need a piece measuring approximately 25 cm / 10 inches.
For best results, I recommend using iron-on interfacing.
FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS:
This pattern is very versatile and works well with a wide range of fabrics.
I recommend light to mid-weight fabrics such as cotton, linen, mid-weight canvas, and other non-stretch fabrics.
I do not recommend using heavyweight fabrics such as thick denim, heavy canvas, or upholstery fabrics, as these can make construction much more difficult.
