We have even included FREE SVG files to use with a cutting machine. This pattern was designed to mimic our popular intermediate pattern, the Slim Sling, only reconfigured in a way to be able to be made in your favorite quilt cottons and have no raw edges like the original version. This is NOT the same pattern as the Slim Sling or a "hack" of the original. It has been completely rewritten with all new pattern pieces and comes together very differently. This redesign also includes a small dart on the front of the bag to allow for a little more storage room inside the main compartment.
This is a "confident" beginner friendly pattern, but still requires one to be comfortable sewing accurate seam allowances and curves.
Specs: Finished purse is approximately 5” wide by 8” tall. There are 2 style options. Option A offers a zippered back pocket and option B offers a clear vinyl slip pocket on the back to see and use your cellphone without taking it out. Both options have 3 recessed card slots located on the interior of the main compartment. The flap is held securely shut with a magnetic snap.
