It helps to make a pattern on graph paper.
1) make a rectangle 5"x2.5"
2) make points how I show in the picture
3) connect the lines a-b c-d e-f g-h
make holes .25 inches into the shape
4) cut it out (no picture)
5) trace it with a pencil onto the leather
6) cut out the leather
picture 7- done for this step
-Save the paper pattern in case you want to make another sling afterward.
