I’ve finished another mini sling bag. These little sling bags are similar to backpack but have one strap to slide over one shoulder or wear as a crossbody bag. The bag can be worn on your front or on your back. I prefer this style because it is easy to reach the inside of the bag while you are wearing it.
I love the fabric used for this bag. It is a watercolor style flower print cotton. I love the colors, the choice of lilies, orchids, berries and splatters of colors on the background. I thought it would make a beautiful bag.
I add a stiff interfacing to the back of this cotton fabric so it is sturdy and holds it’s shape. There is also a bit of fleece batting to add a gentle cushioning and comfort for carrying this bag.
I love adding a fun zipper pull to the zipper opening. This bag has a little sliver butterfly. I thought it paired well with the flowers.
I used a cute white and pink floral cotton for the insides. There is a zipper pocket and a slide pocket for your phone, keys, cards, etc.
The back has a D ring on each lower side so you can chose if you prefer to carry it on the left or the right. The strap is adjustable to fit girls and women, as well as giving you the easy choice to adjust to crossbody or to shorten it for a over the shoulder sling.
I used the fun pattern from LindsHandmade: Mav Pack for this bag. I tweaked the pattern a bit to add my own touches to this mini sling bag. You can find this beautiful sling bag already listed on my SibStudioSewing Etsy shop. Enjoy!
