Free pattern: Reversible Sling Bag

July 2, 2011 by Anne Weaver

Char from Crap I’ve Made is excited to share her free pattern and tutorial for making a Reversible Sling Bag. This bag is not only cute and stylish, but it’s also incredibly easy to make.

With just four pieces of fabric (two pieces each for the inner and outer layer), you’ll be able to create a bag that is both functional and fashionable. The pattern includes detailed instructions on how to cut and sew the pieces together, so you’ll have a brand new bag in no time.

One of the great things about this bag is that it is completely reversible, giving you two different looks in one. Choose a couple of fun fabric prints and create a bag that reflects your personal style. The simple design and lack of complicated closures make this bag the perfect choice for a beginner or experienced seamstress.

The strap is also made from the same four pieces of fabric, so there are no additional materials to purchase. And because the bag is made from just four pieces, you can easily customize the size to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking for a small, compact bag for everyday use or a larger one for traveling, this pattern can be adjusted to suit your needs.

Choose a couple of fun fabric prints, and sew one up for yourself.  Get the pattern and tutorial.

Supplies:

1 yard of exterior fabric
1 yard of interior fabric
Printed pattern pieces + one piece of 8.5 X 11 paper
Scissors, pins, sewing machine, thread

    I love this sling bag!! I have made about 6 of them. I actually have changed it a little. I added zipper pockets, one the the inside and one to the outside!!! Fun to turn right side out but it’s soo fun and way cute. Gets compliments all the time. People wanting me to make them for them!! Love this project! Thank you!!

    Love it great directions BUT I was using bluejean material, no way was it going to go through the handle, so cut in the lining & pulled it right through. Will try again with other material.
    Love the crap you made name!!

Have you read?

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
