Butterfly Sling Bag

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Peeking Behind the Seam

This pretty watercolor style butterflies sling bag is so bright and cheery! Perfect for all year color and hands free convenience!

I love the butterfly fabric. All the colors of the rainbow with butterflies. This bag is a great size: 9 x 7.5 x 3 inches.

I’ve mentioned why I like the sling bags so much – they are so versatile for carrying. They can be across backs, fronts, shoulder, and even around your waist. This bag also has a large slip pocket on the back of the bag for carrying phones etc . away from prying hands.

I had fun adding a purple striped zipper and a beautiful purple & green enamel butterfly zipper pull. I used a coordinating baby blue faux leather for the strap and accents.

Inside is a pretty green and white flower cotton lining. There is a zipper pocket as well as another large slip pocket.

I added D rings on both sides of the back so the bag can be used for left or right handed preferences. This awesome medium sized sling bag was made from the fun Pebble Mini Sling from Kandou Patterns. It is now posted on my SibStudioSewing Etsy shop if you would like to click on the link and take a look. Enjoy!

New Sling Style Backpacks Coming

Posted in Fresh From My Sewing Machine, and Peeking Behind the Seam

I’ve been working on sling style backpacks over the past weeks.

What I like about the sling style bag is that it is similar to a crossbody bag. It can be worn across your back or across your front. It has one strap connected to the top and can be worn on the left or right of the bag. The variety of ways to carry this bag makes it so versatile for any situation. It’s the perfect hands free bag.

This is the 1st of 4 slings bags the are completed and photographed. I love sewing this bag because it is a fun bag to sew, and the bag has so many pockets, compartments, and zippers.

The bag measures:  14 x 9 x 3 – not too big and not too small for day trips, hiking, busy moms, dog walking and everyday. This is Retro Style sling bag pattern from Kandou Patterns.

I liked the fun skier fabric and thought it would make a fun winter sling bag. I paired it with a dark teal blue faux leather for accents & strap. I used a white and gold snowflakes cotton for the inside of the pockets and the main compartment. The front zipper pulls both have a snowflake shaped pull. In the back, I used a regular dressmaking zipper so it doesn’t catch on your shirt or coat.

You can find this cute skiing sling bag on my SibStudioSewing Etsy shop. Enjoy!
