🎒 Men's Sling Bag — PDF Sewing Pattern
Finished size 11.8 x 7 x 1.8 in (30 x 18 x 4.5 cm) • Two zip compartments • Adjustable webbing strap • A0, A4 and US Letter
Sewing for men is where most pattern libraries run out. This one is a crossbody sling — the bag that carries a phone, keys, a wallet and a charger across the chest and stays out of the way. It is drafted flat, so the curved front zip goes in before the bag has any shape to fight you, and the strap is plain webbing through a single slider rather than hardware you have to hunt for. The illustrated steps cover every stage. ✨

📥 Instant Download Policy
This is a digital PDF pattern. Your files are available immediately after purchase. No physical item will be sent.
⚠️ Please Note
Print at 100% or Actual Size — never "fit to page" — or the pattern pieces will not match.
Screen colours vary, so fabric colours may look different in person.
This listing is for the pattern only, not the finished bag.
💡 Working With Faux Leather
Use clips instead of pins — pin holes are permanent in this material.
Lengthen your stitch, and avoid unpicking: every needle hole stays.
Test your stitch length on a scrap of the same material before you start.
🎁 Perfect For
Gifts for men • Everyday carry • Travel and commuting • Festivals and days out • Sewists who want something other than a tote
