1. Download & Open
After purchase, download your files and open them using a PDF reader (we recommend Adobe Acrobat Reader). Avoid printing directly from a web browser to ensure accuracy.
2. Choose Your Format
- Home Printing: Use the Letter/A4 file. Set your printer to 100% Scale or "Actual Size." Always print the first page first and measure the test square to verify sizing.
- Large Format: Use the A0 file to have the pattern printed at a local copy shop on a single large sheet—no taping required!
- Projecting: Use the Projector file if you prefer to beam the pattern pieces directly onto your fabric for a paperless experience.
3. Assemble (Home Printing Only)
Layout the pages according to the grid guide, overlap the edges as indicated, and secure them with tape or glue to create your full-sized pattern sheet.
4. Cut Your Size
Locate your size using our measurement chart, cut out your paper pieces (or cut directly if using a projector), and you're ready to sew!

Fabric Recommendation:
This Sling Carrier is designed to be made using medium to heavy weight woven fabrics for the Main Pieces and light to medium weight woven fabric for the Lining Pieces.
Fabric Suggestions:
Exterior:
Waterproof Canvas, 600D/1000D Polyester, Waxed Canvas, Cotton Duck Fabric, Vinyl, Faux Leather, Ripstop Nylon, Oilcloth, Polyurythane Lined (PUL) etc.
Lining:
Nylon 400D, Ripstop Nylon or waterproof canvas fabric. These fabrics are lightweight, durable, quick-drying and easy to clean. This is helpful when water or drinks might spill and you want to protect the things that are inside the front pocket. Alternatively, you can also use other lightweight woven fabric like quilting cotton, woven cotton blends, etc.
Top Panel:
For the top panel we advise to use a lightweight fabric like rain coat fabric or mesh etc. because that fabric is easy to pull together with the cord.
Sling Carrier Hardware/Materials:
• One sided Fusible Foam (when using Vinyl or Faux Leather you can use a mid weight woven interfacing)
• Cording (For example: a shoelace, length 25”-30” / 63-76cm)

• 1 Cord lock
• 2 D-rings 1”

• A small piece of hook and loop tape (about ¾” / 1,9cm high and 1” / 2,5cm wide for size Small and 1.25" / 3cm wide for size Large, but you can use what you have on hand)
