Something New for Something Old

So...

ever since we released the Sling Along pattern, we’ve received countless requests to produce a “backpack strap” option for it. And finally in 2021, armed with a hot idea and mid-way thru the Covid Pandemic (when most of our retail shows were concelled), it was finally the right time to hammer out a supplemental pattern to one of the most popular designs we’ve ever created!

We developed this pattern as an add-on, meant to dove-tail specifically with the Sling Along pattern. In other words…one would need BOTH the Sling Along pattern AND the “new Strap Conversion pattern” to achieve the intended result, (pictured at left), which is a convertible strap which would allow a Sling Along to be worn as a “sling bag” (as it was originally intended to be), AND ALSO as a true backpack!

And here’s the thing, even though the pattern has done well…

we’re STILL getting inquiries about adding a backpack strap option to our Sling Along pattern which only goes to show that our marketing plan for our Strap Conversion pattern was not totally effective. So the purpose of this post at this time is to formally announce the release of the Zippered Strap Conversion for the Sling Along pattern!

and here’s some beautiful customer-created samples for your consideration
