Sling Bag

I noticed that when I wanted to go the neighbourhood supermarket or just visiting the next door neighbour, I would be carrying house keys, mobile phone, some money, spects etc. Taking a hand bag along is too much bother for short distances and I did not need it really. So what is the solution?

I hit upon the idea of a sling bag, small in size and light weight too.

Rummaged through my stash of left over fabrics and material, I found the right stuff.

It is dense furnishing fabric material and closely woven and synthetic and cotton mix, so sturdy and easy to wash; and some contrasting curtain material for the pouch in front and the button flap.

This is what came out by the time I got done with it.

Dimensions of the sling bag are:

Length – 7”

Height – 8”

Front pouch – 5” x 4”

Strap length – 55”

Strap width – 1”

These are finished measurements. Must add ½” for stitching and 1” for strap.
