The Mav Pack - Sling Bag

One Day Bag Class

This is an intermediate pattern in that it uses advanced bag making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making. It requires accurate cutting/sewing and installing a curved zipper which can be challenging for new sewers. This bag is "turned" through an opening left in the pocket which gives the bag a nice snug, finished lining so there is NO binding involved.

Specs: the finished pack is approximately 6” wide by 7 1/2” tall and is 2 1/2” deep. The shoulder strap is cut to 56” long (cut into 2 pieces) and fully adjustable.  It features 1 interior zipper pocket.

Pattern is available at the Sewcial Creatives shop.  Bag can be made with quilting cotton, canvas, cork or vinyl.  If you need help shopping, just let us know!
