TRIO Sling Bag / Backpack SEWING PATTERN - written in ENGLISH - A fully illustrated sewing pattern, complete with full scale templates for a practical, stylish unisex Sling bag with a fixed webbing strap. The bag can also be made as a Backpack with two slimmer, removable straps, giving you the option to wear the bag as a sling OR as a backpack.
Both versions are the same size, but the Sling Bag has a chunkier look with its wider strap. The back of both bags is quilted in a contemporary chevron pattern to give it rigidity whilst protecting the contents.
Finished Dimensions: 7 ½” Long x 11” High x 2 ¾” Deep (at base). This bag is a bit larger than the Pebble Sling Bag, and is designed to take a regular water bottle as well as other essential items - see photos for details.KEY FEATURES
