Summertime Sling Bag Sewing Pattern

The Summertime Sling is an easy to follow sewing pattern that comes in two sizes – small and large. It features horizontally pieced outer panels, allowing you to have fun with fabrics and notions.

It has a top zipper closure, two inner pockets and an adjustable cross body strap. Not a fan of piecing? Simply use the fleece/foam Outer Panel pattern piece instead to cut whole fabric panels and create a completely different look!
