Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this flap sling bag plastic canvas base?
The body and flap panel measures 17x18 Inch, the larger of the two flap sling sizes.

Which yarn works best on this mesh?
The fine grid suits ordinary 4 ply, DK and cotton yarn. Match the yarn thickness to the hole size so the mesh is fully covered.

How is this different from the 13.5x14 Inch flap sling base?
The shape and pieces are the same, but this panel is larger at 17x18 Inch, so it makes a bigger bag. The photos show the shared design, not the exact size.

Can a beginner make a bag with this?
Yes. The panels are already cut to shape, so you only need to cover them with yarn and join the edges.
