The Clamshell Sling by Spencer Ogg Sewing Patterns
The first featured pattern in our “soft” trials was the Clamshell Sling. If you thought Bum Bags were a thing of the past you were wrong.
Can be worn around the waist or as a sling and who knew you could fit so many pockets into a little bag.
As always Diane's patterns are easy to follow and full of great tips.
