The Squiffy Sling is a great beginner sew. With fun asymmetrical styling but just one pattern piece for outer and lining, it’s a quickie! This is a great pattern for showing off your interesting fabrics. Use a solid fabric in a bold colour to contrast with your faux leather base overlay, or use a fun design to really make the shape of the bag pop.
The pattern includes instructions on using a half moon magnetic snap, creating a fully lined cross body strap and adding both zip and slip pockets. There’s also placement markings for using a different fastener on the pattern piece. In addition to the Half Moon Magnetic snap, you also need (1) 1″ strap slider & (1) 1″ rectangular strap ring.
