Today we’ve got a replay of one of our most popular bag patterns from Sew Many Creations, the Abby Sling Bag.
This bag is seriously awesome. There are SEVEN pockets, a recessed zipper to keep all your goodies inside save and secure, a back zippered pocket perfect for your wallet, easy access and stylish front pockets that are great for your cell phone keys, emergency chocolate bar, basically anything. And it is BIG. You can seriously hold everything in it while being stylish.
We came up with new kits featuring Pollinate by Jessica Swift for Art Gallery Fabrics and I am in LOVE with how it turned out. The fabrics coordinate so beautifully and the orange really makes the dark body pop.
Our video covers absolutely every technique you need to know to make the Abby Sling Bag by Sew Many Creations. It’s got a lot of steps, but it can be easily made in a weekend.
As always, any video featuring a pattern is meant to be a supplemental guide for all you visual learners out there. To get the cutting instructions, templates and step-by-step diagrams, make sure you purchase a copy of Abby Sling Bag by Sew Many Creations. You’re supporting the pattern designer and Quilt Addicts Anonymous, so we all can keep bringing you sewing inspiration!
To help make it easier to reference as you sew through your bag, I am putting the time codes on for all the techniques we cover in this video. Feel free to skip around to help with other bag projects you have in the works.
