JUNIS Sling Bag Sewing Pattern for DIY
Sewing your own sling bag? JUNIS comes in 3 sizes and can be worn very flexibly: as a fanny pack, waist bag, cross-body bag, or over the shoulder.
The smallest version is perfect without a front pocket for small items or as a fanny pack for kids. In sizes M and L, you can optionally add a spacious zippered pocket for your phone, money, and keys.
For a beautiful, sturdy shape, an iron-on interfacing is recommended for thin fabrics. The firmer the interfacing, the more shape-retentive your bag will be. You should avoid using batting/fusible fleece due to the many layers of fabric.
