WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS SLING BAG
FABRIC
For the bag exterior, you will need about 3/8 yard of cotton quilting fabric (fabric 1)
I use the nesting dolls fabric that I designed in my whimsical fabric collection (available at Spoonflower).

Shop the nesting dolls fabric

For the interior of the bag, you will need about 1/2 yard of cotton quilting fabric (fabric 2).

INTERFACING & STABILIZER 
Mid-Weight/ Firm Stabilizer is applied to some of the main panels, to give structure to the bag. 
​Fusible Woven Interfacing is what we use to add extra weight to some of the exterior panels without adding too much bulk. 

ZIPPERS
14" long metal zipper for the zipper closure.
 At least  6" long nylon coil zipper for the interior zipper pocket.

HARDWARES
D-rings 1" (2.5cm) inner measurements 2x
Swivel hooks 1" (2.5cm) inner measurements 
Adjustable strap slider 1" (2.5mm) inner measurement

OTHER
1/4" wide elastic  about 8" long for the interior slip pocket.
1" (2.5 cm) wide webbing strap about 55" (140cm) long.
