A compact sling you wear across the body. Quick to grab, easy to carry, and a genuinely good first bag to sew.

One strap, one body, clean lines. No hardware puzzles, no fussy turning. If this is your first bag, start here. If you have sewn a few, it is a fast, satisfying build.

[confirm 2 to 3 real features here: strap type, pocket, closure]

What you get

• The full pattern, drawn at true size (1:1). Print it, cut it, sew it.
• Cut list and labeled pieces, with grainlines and notches marked.
• Step by step assembly, written plain.
• Print instructions and a print check square, so your scale comes out exact.

Print it at home

This is a true scale PDF built to tile across Letter paper (8.5 by 11). Open it in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, print as a Poster at 100 percent, and tape the pages together. Before you cut, measure the print check square. It has to read 10 cm. If it does, your whole pattern is exact. Prefer a shop? Send the file anywhere that prints and ask for one sheet at 100 percent, no scaling.

Sew along

Follow the time lapse on Instagram, @canvasworker, and build it with me. Questions go in the comments and I will answer.

Pay what you want

This pattern is donation based. If it helps you and you want to support a small studio making tools for makers, send a little through Venmo, @canvasworker. It keeps the lights on, the machines running, and the next maker learning.
