DIY Crossbody Sling Bag

Sling bags and cross body bags are super practical when it comes to travelling. They let you go hands free an carry your stuff in a comfortable way at the same time.

The sling bag in this tutorial is also made to be practical, with a little zipper slip pocket at the front where you can place your phone and some cash. there is also a main zipper compartment which is spacious to keep variety of your stuff inside. There is also an additional pocket inside to keep things even more organized.

The fabric I used to sew the sling bag is canvas fabric and final dimension for the bag are:

  • Height:26cm
  • Length: 17cm
  • Depth: 6cm
