I was looking through so many sling bag patterns, and when I saw this one, it seemed just right! It turned out great! The only thing I really changed was to make the front zipper pocket longer to go to the bottom of the bag. Other than that, it was perfect.

Love this pattern!! It is such a a cool and useful bag!
I love this pattern. I think it is the perfect travel sling. Will be great to wear to soccer games or shopping. Love the multiple pockets and that the front pocket is pleated, so it holds more.
Wonderfully written pattern. Pocket placement and depth were well thought out. The instructions with the video left very little room for confusion at all. It all came together so easily! Absolutely enjoyed making the nomadic travel along and looking forward to making many more
