Lamont Mini Sling Bag Kit

Thank you so much, Jen!
We’re thrilled to hear the Lamont has become your new favorite bag—what a compliment, especially from an experienced bag maker. It’s wonderful that the kit experience was a fun change of pace and that you enjoyed the floral version so much you made four more. That absolutely makes our day.

We love hearing your thoughts on the air mesh, too. It really does give just the right amount of structure without the bulk of foam, and it’s great to know it worked so well for you. And you’re right—the bottom can be the trickiest part, but taking your time makes all the difference.

Your tweak to extend the main panel sounds like such a smart customization. We always enjoy seeing how makers personalize their Lamont to fit their style and needs.

If you ever feel like sharing photos of your versions, we’d be delighted to see them in the Sallie Tomato Facebook group. Your makes always inspire the community.

Thank you so much, Lisa! I’m thrilled to hear how much you’re loving your Lamont Mini — it really is such a perfect size with all the right pockets. I love that everything is easy to access and that you’re already planning to make more. And those compliments you’re getting are so well‑deserved! If you ever feel inspired to share a photo of your next one, we’d love to see it in our Sallie Tomato Facebook group. We love yours with the Tula Pink Fabric and the fussy cutting is perfect!

Thank you so much, Alexis! I’m thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the Lamont Mini Sling Bag Kit. Your NYE sew‑along version sounds wonderful, and it’s amazing that you jumped right in to make another one with TP Graywork — the second time always feels smoother. It’s such a beautiful and useful bag, and we love hearing how much you’re enjoying it! Feel free to share both in our Sallie Tomato Patterns and Hardware Group on Facebook. Happy Sewing.
