Tutorial: Library sling bag

Summer time is Summer Reading Club time at most public libraries.  It’s a free activity that will keep the kids reading when they’re out of school, and encourage them to check out books to read at home.  Becky from Patchwork Posse shares a tutorial at Skip To My Lou showing how to make a sling bag to carry books to and from the library.  It carries cross body and is big enough to hold picture books.  It would also work nicely as a busy bag.

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.
