Every once in a while, a bag comes along that feels like it’s been stitched straight out of your dreams. It’s compact but roomy. Stylish but practical. Simple enough for a confident beginner yet satisfying for a seasoned stitcher. This season, that bag has a name—and it’s Jenny.
Introducing the Jenny Sling Bag, a pattern born from a delightful collaboration between our team and the ever-inspiring Jenny Doan of Missouri Star Quilt Company. This isn’t just another bag pattern—it’s a gateway to hands-free adventures, spontaneous day trips, and everyday errands made more fabulous with every step.
We imagined Jenny as the go-anywhere, do-anything kind of bag. You know, the one you sling over your shoulder as you dash out the door, ready for whatever the day brings. With its sleek profile and perfectly sized capacity, the Jenny Bag is the ultimate multitasker—effortlessly stylish, endlessly practical, and undeniably charming.
Style, Security, and Simplicity—All in One Beautiful Stitch
At first glance, Jenny charms with her minimalist silhouette. Jenny's got that effortlessly cool vibe that works with jeans and a tee just as easily as this pattern complements a sundress and sandals. But don’t be fooled by her clean lines—this bag is as functional as it is stylish.
Let’s talk features. Jenny may be compact, but this bag holds far more than you think. There’s enough space inside for your phone, wallet, keys, lip balm, and even a small water bottle—basically, all your out-and-about essentials. No need to tote around an oversized handbag when Jenny’s got your back, literally and figuratively.
And here’s where things get extra clever: a hidden zipper pocket keeps your most precious items safely tucked away. It’s the perfect spot for cash, cards, or even a passport if you’re traveling. Discreet yet secure, it’s a little detail that makes a big difference.
The crossbody design ensures your bag stays close, comfortably draped across your body thanks to the adjustable webbing strap. The strap isn't just functional—it’s an opportunity to infuse your personality. Go bold with a patterned webbing or keep things classic with neutrals. Either way, Jenny wears it well.
What really sets this bag apart is how seamlessly it merges style with utility. Whether you're weaving through a bustling farmers market, pedaling around town, or hiking a forest trail, Jenny hugs your body without getting in the way. It’s freedom in bag form.
From Urban Exploring to Nature Wandering
We designed Jenny with versatility in mind. It is the perfect companion for city slickers and nature lovers alike. Heading downtown for brunch and boutique hopping? Jenny’s sleek look fits right in. Planning a weekend at the lake or a hike through the woods? This stunning pattern has just enough room for your trail mix and sunscreen.
No matter where you go, Jenny adapts. The minimalist aesthetic makes this pattern a chameleon—pair it with bold fabrics for a statement piece or opt for a muted faux leather for something chic and timeless. Add hardware that pops or keep it subtle. The design is your canvas.
Sew With Confidence—We’ve Got You Covered
Of course, what’s a great pattern without a great tutorial? We’ve teamed up with the creative team at Missouri Star Quilt Company to bring you a step-by-step video tutorial that walks you through the entire process. You’ll be sewing along with Jess and Jenny herself—two sewing minds with a shared love for empowering makers to try new things.
Whether you’re sewing your first bag or your fiftieth, this video will guide you from the first cut to the final stitch. You can pause, rewind, and follow along at your own pace. Grab a snack, fill up your bobbin, and settle in for some feel-good sewing time.
The Inspiration Behind the Bag
The Jenny Bag was designed in celebration of creativity, connection, and collaboration. We’ve always admired how Jenny Doan brings warmth and approachability to everything she does, and this bag is a reflection of that spirit. Simple, inviting, and designed with makers in mind.
Whether you’re raiding your stash or heading to your favorite local fabric shop, we’ll help you choose combinations that reflect your personal style while maximizing the bag’s sleek lines and clever features.
Think canvas with faux leather accents. Denim with a splash of floral lining. Cork fabric for that eco-chic look. There are endless directions you can take with this pattern, and each one gives the Jenny Bag a whole new personality.
Wrapping things up
In a world that’s constantly on the move, it’s refreshing to find something that helps you slow down and create. Sewing the Jenny Bag is more than just making a bag—it’s about making something that’s beautiful, functional, and entirely your own. A sling bag that fits your life, your style, and your story.
So, clear your cutting table, pick your favorite fabric, and let’s sew something fabulous together. Let Jenny be your next joyful make and take her with you wherever your feet (or sewing machine) may wander.
