New Pattern! Sandhill Sling

Sandhill Sling Sewing Pattern - Noodlehead

Sandhill Sling – View A (zippered front pocket)

Happy Friday everyone! I’m so happy to introduce you to my newest pattern, the Sandhill Sling. This pattern has been many months in the making and I’m happy to finally be able to share it with you. I began working on this pattern last summer (2019) and have been plugging along ever since.

Two views to sew: one zippered front pocket, the other a patch pocket with flap!

I am so excited to see what you make using this pattern! I’ll have a few blog posts that I’ll be sharing in the next few weeks, so I hope you will find that inspiring as well (including photos from my testers!). I’ve been loving using mine. It’s great for hiking and biking. I carry things to and from work and on the trail (snacks, dog leash, phone, keys and the like). For the few times I’ve been out running errands I like having it for my mask and hand sanitizer, too. I’ve been told by a few testers that it’s surprisingly roomy! It is compact enough but not too obtrusive. The other thing is that I think it’s fun to sew! If you’re comfortable sewing with zippers (if you’ve sewn a few zippered pouches and feel ready to up your skills, I think this is a great next step. If you consider yourself an advanced beginner I think you can tackle this bag!

Pattern: Sandhill Sling Pattern
Fabrics: featuring Big Sur Canvas by Robert Kaufman Fabrics  (I ordered mine from Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics) in Canyon Brown and Blue Green and the linings are Perennial by Sarah Golden (Andover Fabrics). I ordered mine from Home Ec Workshop and Algea from my Driftless fabric collection (Robert Kaufman Fabrics).

Looking for supplies?

(* instructions are included for making your own strap from fabric, too! Just add 1/4 yard to the exterior fabric requirement (or feel free to grab a different fabric, too), notes and further information is in the pattern).

And I wanted to also share that for the first time, I’m including links to two short videos to help with some of the finishing steps. They are linked within the PDF instructions and I hope you’ll find them useful! I’m also contemplating some longer format videos or a possible sew-along for this sling, but I’ve got a few deadlines to wrap up before the end of the year, so I’ll keep in touch and will let you know here on my blog.

    OMG!! I’m so excited about this pattern. I was just getting ready to make a similar one but it is much more complicated so I’m hesitant to start. This is the perfect alternative. Do you happen to know if it will fit an iPad? Can’t wait to make one of these for myself and one for the hubs.

    ANNA…BEAUTIFUL AND YOUR MODEL IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

  8. Really enjoying making two of these for my boyfriend’s daughters! Instructions are very clear, and the first video was helpful. Unfortunately, YouTube says the second video noted in the pattern is unavailable? Would be great to have a sewalong (like with Pepin Tote) when you have the time and inclination! Thank you, Anna!

      Hi Michele, Glad to hear you enjoyed making them for gifts! Not sure why the video wasn’t allowing you to access it. Try copying and pasting it into your search bar. If you need any additional help please email us using the contact page, thank you! 🙂

    Has this been made in vinyl? If so, how would you modify the shoulder connector to the vinyl strap without all the bulk?
