Corduroy fanny pack

A fanny pack in sturdy dark green corduroy and natural cotton canvas, with a cotton strap in a matching shade. I drew the pattern myself, including the pockets and the zip opening.

Why I made it

I wanted to try sewing a small bag with a strap for my wallet and odds and ends, and it ended up as a classic fanny pack.

What I learned

With so many layers of fabric it was quite a challenge for a home sewing machine, but in the end we both made it. The hardest part was finishing the inside seams with binding at the very end.

Finished

Making of

Drafting the pattern — Working out the shape of the waist bag

Printed pattern pieces — I drew the pattern in a graphics editor and printed it out

Topstitching — That many layers were a tough nut for a home sewing machine, but in the end we both made it.

Sewn inside out — The hardest part came last: finishing the inside seams with binding.
