Two things will play a big part in answering that question. What are you planning to sling? And do you know what type of pouch you're going to make with the leather?

Joe is right. What is your usual sling ammo? Also which style of sling pouch?
Have you looked at the thread here in General section called PDF Leather Sling Pouch Patterns? That should give you both some good ideas of shape as well as dimensions.

As an example, if you go to this page that StaffSlinger mentioned (
https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1344443925
) and scroll all the way down to the last sling, a 6 x 2 piece of leather would make a decent tennis ball sling in that style. You could take it down a bit. Maybe to 5 x 1.5, but I wouldn't go much further.

Confirmed.
This one
I made uses 4.5 x 1" strips. After the 3/8" grommets both being 3/4" in diameter, ain't no room for a tennis ball.
Great for small rocks, though.
