Slouchy sling bag tutorial

Cut two pieces for front and back from

main print and lining
Remember when you cut out main bag move closest to selvage to keep the fold area for your pocket piece.



Stitch pocket to lining about 3"

from top of bag or opening




Stitch main print back to front right sides together and lining pieces right sides together. Leave the opening open . Turn main print right side out and press. Fold down and press 1/2" on both outside print and lining print so you can finish and close bag.



Front of bag should be pressed

and top edge pressed under 1/2"



Stitch strap pieces right side together and reach inside and turn right side out!

Press seams flat and double top stitch!



Place liner fabric inside main bag print. Find center of strap line up with side seams and pin all the way around the opening of bag.

Stitch in place and double top stitch!



See how the strap lies between the layers.


Stitch along edge and then another top stitch to give a double top stitch!





See how edges line up!

  1. I would love to know the name/maker of the fabric used in the bag, specifically the fabric that can be seen clearly in the photo that has the caption 'Pocket Inside'. Thanks so much!
