Classic Fanny Pack

This fanny pack is a great intermediate level fanny pack and a great step up from a regular zipper pouch without getting too complex. Student will learn how to sew darts and sew a zipper along a curve so it is a step up from the “simple fanny pack” also listed on the page. It comes from learncreatesew.com and is a free pattern!  If you are still beginner level it is preferable to make the flat/simple fanny pack before moving on to this one.

  • 1 spool of all purpose thread
  • 1″ side release clasp and 1″ tri-glide (the tri-glad – also called rectangle slider buckle- makes it adjustable in size so if you don’t get that it will be a fixed size)
