Difficulty: Advanced Beginner

The Marjorie Sling Bag is a casual bucket-style bag perfect for your daily grab-and-go.  Whether you're running errands, hauling the kids to practice, or spending the day exploring, Marjorie has you covered.  The single, adjustable, center back strap can be worn comfortably as a cross-body, or just slung over your shoulder when you're in a hurry.  The circular bottom makes the Marjorie spacious and ensures that items that drop to the bottom will be easy to find.  A top zipper keeps everything safely secured, and the handy swivel clasp at the end of the zipper can be used to latch to the bottom of the bag for a more streamlined, cross-body look, or to the top of the zipper for a bucket style.  An interior zipped pocket will keep all your valuables safe and easy to find.  Marjorie is fully lined, guaranteeing that the  inside of your bag is just as cute as the outside and providing a fun place to use a favorite fabric or pop of color.

Marjorie is 15.5" tall, 10" wide, and 16" deep, providing plenty of space for a knitting project, a textbook, a laptop, or just your everyday essentials.  The strap adjusts to up to 41" total, but can be easily lengthened if a longer strap is desired.

This pattern includes several introductory pages with information on picking the best fabric, performing strap length adjustments if necessary, printing and assembling the pattern, and helpful sewing notes.
