- Let's make a cork Slim Sling! This little ditty comes together super quick (even more so if you skip edge coating).
Get the pattern here: lindshandmade.com/products/sl...
The only changes I made were printing the pattern at 92%, I used a magnetic snap instead of a twist lock, and I quilted the flap.
I sewed using a Juki TL2010q, a 4mm stitch length with Gutermaan Mara 120 thread, a size 16 needle. Double stick tape is from Wawak, glue is Beacon Fabri-Tac.

I just got my first industrial sewing machine 2 days ago and this is going to be my first bag!! You are my favourite sewing channel. Your sense of humour is fantastic 🙂
Aww wow, thank you so much Kimmy!! Glad to have you!!❤️❤️
Soo happy to see you make this!!
Thanks for making it look so easy. Love the quilting aspect 👍🏼
Thanks. Looks like a fairly quick sew and so versatile. Love your tutorials.
Can't wait to try this one.
A very small rotary cutter is perfect for corners
I am Maria del Carmen from Puerto Rico.... I Love your tutorial. Thank you
You make it look so easy! I struggled with cutting/following pattern curves using a 45mm rotary cutter. I tried an 18mm and a 28mm and they make all the difference, thanks you all of your hard work in producing tutorial.
I think cutting curves is easier with scissors!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing your talents 💙 🤗
❤️
I've never sewn with cork but i just some cute designs. I think this be the pattern i try. BtW, your detailed video on edgecoating taught me the proper way to do it, and now i am very good at it ! 😊 thanks for all the great videos
You’re very welcome!
hey hey hey hey... tysm for mentioning the diff sizes for the zips... really makes sense to this newbie wanna be... lol luv luv your "it costs that much" quote... :) youre the best tyfs
❤️❤️
love these I've made a few - but oooh i like your hack with the top of pocket and flap tucked under. the little rotary blades make it easy to go around curves when cutting 🙂
I think I’ll make that all one piece if I ever make more of the (back pocket/flap)!
I've watched a couple of your videos and am anxios to try sewing with cork.
It’s the best, you’ll love it!
I really enjoyed watching the Slim Sling come together. I have already made one with Linds Handmade SVG pattern. I used a snap for closure and it ripped out.. when repairing I will reinforce it with another material. I will order some magnets as opening and closing would be easier. I think the idea of quilting really makes difference as it gives more diemension without really changing the design. I would love to see you do a video on another reverse appliqué, like the paw pattern pouch you have made. That was the video that first inspired me. So many people have cutting machines today.. that are starting to make bags.
Good idea!
Love your glasses! Nice video.
Thank you!
Awesome 😊
Glad you liked it!
Learn a lot of new techniques.
❤️
Your card slots are close to the bottom seam allowance because you made the pattern at 92% but your credit cards didn’t reduce in size😉
Aha!
Nichole, love to watch your videos. I’m new and after trying faux leather, I’m finding I like cork more. I’m finding edge coat kinda fun! My question is what thread do you use to sew cork?
I always use Gutermaan Mara 120!
🥰
I love your work with cork!! Your wallets are what’s trending. Where do you purchase your cork?
Always from Fabric Funhouse! Use code SEWGNAR10 for 10% off your first order!
Thanks for the video. I am new to sewing and your channel and have never made a bag but want to.You made this look so easy. How long have you been making bags?
About 7 or 8 years now probably! Give it a go!
I am replacing purse straps for a friend using faux leather. I bought double-sided faux leather strips and wanted to avoid sewing the edges if possible. I can't find any examples of that online, which makes me think the edges should be sewn together. I am sure that would help keep the bond from separating. I am concerned I won't do perfect job. Is it necessary to sew together? Would the bonded leather separate over time if not sewn? Would it look funny without the edge stitching? Would no edge stitching cause the straps to curl up on the edges?
I ordered a leather tool to punch hole in the faux leather. Now I am wondering if I should do that since it is faux leather, not real leather. At the time I was thinking of only doing the attachment strips and not the straps. What would your recommendations be - use a sewing machine or leather hole punch (if that will even work on faux leather)?
Also, your videos have convinced me I should edge coat - thanks!
For long term use sewing the edges will likely be the best option for constant use!
I noticed when you drew the quilt lines, you used chalk. Is there a reason you didn't use the leather pen for that? I get more accurate lines using a pen that the chalk. Love your videos!
Only because it’s easier to wipe the chalk than the pen when you see over it!
OMG got the pattern and wanted to pull my hair out! but I did a practice run with outcloth and it worked. thanks for the tutorial it helped a lot...but why can't the flap and zipper panel be one piece?
I think they could be and if I make another one I plan on making them the same piece too!
Will the magnet closure effect credit cards?
Great video, as usual!
I don’t think so!
@@SewGnar Thank you!
What size magnetic snap did you use?
Where did you get your brand made? You have inspired me to make one of these 😊
Check out the couple of videos I have here on the channel all about the brand!
Love your video! Does this fit a iPhone 12 Pro phone?
I’m not sure but you can find the measurements online and compare!
QQ- when gluing/taping how do you keep the needle from getting sticky or gummy? By the way I love all of your tutorials
Thank you! It takes a lot of sewing with the same needle for it to get gummy and at that point I just change the needle because I’ve likely been sewing with it for too long anyhow 🤣
What kind of DST do you use that your Juki doesn't narly about? My Haruka needle got all icky with the last type I used. Even with the non-stick needles it was not very pleased.
I use the tape from Wawak. It will build up on my needle over time but switching to size 16 helped with it not being as bad.
Card slots probably lower because you shrunk the pattern slightly.
I love to watch your videos! But I do need to know where you get edge coating? I have one of your patterns I tried to make it , but ... total fail! Gonna try again
Keep trying! I get my paint from fabric funhouse and buckle guy, and I’m about to try out mojo sews exclusive paint to see if I want to switch over to her!
What was the name/pattern designer of the bigger bag you had made with the gray cork? I loved that bag!!
Hi Karen. She had called it the ‘Glenda’ by Swoon.
@@lisagiarratana7660 thank you! I heard Glenda but didn’t catch the Swoon part. 👍🏻
can you tell me where to get the radial hand punch you use? And the rivet setter that you use?
I’ve had the radial punch for so long I don’t even know where I purchased it. The Rivet press is from gold star!
Where did you get your template for rounding corners?
Tops and bobbins!
Where do you get your DST? I have some I love but I can't remember which website I got it from. If it was Wawak, is it the hyperstik?
Wawak! Yes the hyperstik
Thanks!
Could you provide a link to the marking pen, thank you
I got it on moremeknow.com!
what size hole did you punch for the ends of the card slots
I’m not 100% because it’s just the smallest setting on my hole punch, but probably about an 1/8”
Usually the cork sheets come in three sizes from ff. Can this bag be made using the smaller 18x13” size or do you have to get the 18x26?
I generally cut my strap to 55”. I have to piece it.
@@SewGnar which size will be ok for the bag, if I piece the strap?
What are your thoughts on making the front flap and the back zipper pocket out of one continuous piece? They seem to be the same width and there wouldn’t be the gap where the two pieces come up against each other?
If I made this project again id definitely attach those and make them one piece. Seems silly that they’re separate.
@@SewGnar I made one last night and watched your video again after wondering if I did something wrong by having the two pieces. I am going to do one in one piece for the next one and reduce it down too. Was the opening on the card slots enough? I know it felt short for yours on the first one but it still seemed wide enough. I was thinking an ID holder on the inside flap too.
I guess if you don’t want it all the same cork you still have the option of two pieces.
Yeah I cut it super close with the bottom card slot so I would add some length to those pattern pieces if I kept it at the reduced size.
This is Chuck and I was wandering where do you get your cork? Is it 2 MM?
Hi chuck, you can always find that info in the description box! This cork is from fabric funhouse, use code SEWGNAR10 for 10% off your first order. You’ll have to ask then how thick it is because I’m not sure.
Link please to marking pens and refills.
They’re on MoreMeKnow.com
I just love watching your tutorials!
Have a question for you...this is not related to this pattern. Generally, what is the best method to attach straps to crossbody bags? I do the ears (like in this one) and attach a removable adjustable strap. How do you prevent the small piece with D-ring from getting yanked out of the bag because of all the weight and stress the bag is put through??
Nobody has complained so far but I worry about that. Is there a better way?
Thanks!
Hi, thank you! Glad you’re here. It’s really a personal preference on strap attachments, however when I add the tabs I do a strip of decovil under it to help it’s strength. But I have had to fix a few peoples bags when they overload them 🫤
Thanks. So YOU have that prob too?! I thought I was the only one...the decovil suggestion is 👌👌 will do that.
Will it look good if I attached the 1/2" strap with rivers to the front and back of the bag (for crossbody)? Or will it be more stress on the body of the bag? You are the expert.....so I ask! Thanks so much!
I add rivets now too because I think they look good while adding extra strength!
Couldnt you put say a half inch sides on ? too make it slightly bigger in depth too fit a little more....How easy would that be?
You’d have to figure out the different snap/twist lock placement. Adding depth will change the overall look. If you want a 1/2” depth you’d have to add it too the exterior front and back and take into account the seam allowance
What is the pattern?
The link is in the description box!
Where can I buy pattern at?
It’s in the description box.
I don’t see it in the description. Maybe I need glasses. 😃
Ahhh 😱 I forgot to put it, I went back and added it in. Sorry 😣
I was following you pretty well until the card slots and their backing. You hit a higher gear on me.
I go over this method in my Tall Wallet too if you need more!
If I rotary trimmed at your speed I would have no fingers left.
