Hello! I have a sling bag that I really like, but the strap doesn’t take it as close to my body as I would like. I have a sewing machine, but I have never used it for stitching seatbelt webbing. What sort of needle would I need to use, and which type of thread would be best suited for the material?

It should be fine, seat-belts aren’t that thick. I’d use size 69 bonded nylon or polyester thread.
