Hey world this is my first tutorial on how to make a sling bag with a round bottem. I got the idea when my sister came back from mexico with a bag that looks a bit like the one I'm making today. After I made my bag I noticed that it was made slightly like steph blue's sling bag and that was unintenstional so no haters out there saying I copied her! haha

Pick you material! Chose two colors once for the out side and one for the inside. I used silkish fabric but you can use anything as long as it can hold a bit of weight. ---The picture on the side is te fabric I used for my outside.
Take your Inside Fabric (lining) and cut two 32cm x 43cm peice --12.5 x 17 (In inches)
Now do the samething as the last step but with your outside fabric - Now you have four pices mesuring the same thing
But all of them one in top of the other. Sorry the fabric is wrinkled... :P
Fold in half
And draw lines like these.. Sorry I couldnt get a clear picture of the lines so I used paint
Once it is cut unfold It should look a bit like a shield
Now Lets cut the straps Of each fabric cut up a 10cm x 100cm rectangle --4 x 38 (in Inches)
Put the good sides togeter and sew only one side
Now fold in half to make it half as long and cut like in the drawing ( In pink) ------ This was steph blue's Idea and found it smart so I used it in my project so I didnt invent it
Unfold and it should look like this... Now sew it
Reverse it so we can see the nice side and put the strap aside we will use it later
Now take your main body peices again take the the inside fabric and put the nice sides togeter and sew the sides togeter ONLY THE SIDES
Repeat step 13 with outside peice
Now turn the Inside fabric inside out so that we can see the nice side DO NOT DO with the outside keep it ugly side out! Now put it in the middle of the outside one So it will be like a sandwich--- Outside Inside Inside Outside
Sew one side but leave a space at both sides for the straps and do the same on the other So agin with the sanwhich Outside Inside The ones above together and the ones below together Inside Outside
Put the straps in the holes you left and sew Do the same on the other side Sorry the picuture is not great
When you will flip it so its nice side out you should see this (refering to the picture) when you look at the connection with the strap and the body of the bag
Now put it ugly side again and sew the bottom of you outside fabric
Do thew same on the lining but this time leave a 7cm gap so that you will be able to flip it 7cm= 3 inches
now flip it and sew the gap by hand or by machine
This is how it should look like on the outside.. this bag is reversable... You can also add a button to close the bag
And here is the inside of the bag
