DIY Easy Belt Bag Tutorial – How to Sew a Crossbody Fanny Pack. How to Make a Belt Bag Sewing Tutorial.
And the best thing about our "everything-with-me fanny pack" is that it's not only super practical and totally stylish, but also super quick to sew yourself.
Wait, it gets even better: because of the small pattern pieces, you can use up fabric scraps in a really great way. Pretty cool, right?
Have fun sewing!
Fabric Recommendations
Cotton fabrics, decorative fabrics, denim, generally any non-stretch fabrics
What You'll Need
• Pattern (DOWNLOAD PDF HERE)
• Paper scissors
• Fabric scissors or rotary cutter and cutting mat
• Pins/Magic Clips
• 0.3 m of fabric
• Matching thread
• Webbing (hip circumference + approx. 20 cm)
• Snap buckle (possibly a sliding buckle)
• Zipper (at least 29 cm long)
• Ribbons/embellishments
• Optional: Webbing end caps
First, print out the attached pattern. Cut out the three pattern pieces along the black line – since the 1 cm seam allowance is already included, you can get started right away.
Now cut all the pieces on the fold of the fabric; then you should have the front piece, the back piece, and the flap in front of you.
If you're using a continuous zipper, first cut it to the same length as your pattern piece and then thread it.
Take the front piece and place the zipper along the long edge on the right side of the fabric. Secure it with pins so that nothing shifts while sewing. Since the corners will be clipped later, you can also reinforce them with a little fusible interfacing.
Now sew from one corner to the other, as shown in the picture; for this, it's best to use a zipper foot.
Now carefully clip the corners and fold the respective seam allowance onto the zipper teeth, then stitch over them several times so that the sides of the zipper are also well secured. You can then trim these back a little.
Now stitch the fabric to the zipper on the right side, close to the edge.
Now you can sew the zipper to the curve of the flap. First, mark the center of the flap and the zipper. Use pins or magic clips to help you.
After that, you can topstitch the right side again, close to the zipper.
The front part is almost finished. Now sew the back piece to the flap, long edge to long edge. The nice sides of the fabric should be on the inside again. Secure it beforehand with pins or clips.
Separate the buckle, thread a webbing strap with a length of approx. 15 cm into the female part of the buckle, and stitch over the end once.
Now thread the remaining webbing into the male part, as shown in the picture, from bottom to top.
Since the strap of our fanny pack is adjustable, we need a strap stopper. You can easily make this from a bias strip (4 cm wide/12 cm long). To do this, fold the edges 1 cm towards the center, then fold them again along the fold and topstitch close to the edge.
Sew the open edges securely and turn the strip right side out. You can then pull the strip over the open end of the webbing – now just fold over the shorter end of the webbing and topstitch it, or attach a metal end piece.
Place the respective webbing on the sides of the front piece. Now stitch a few times within the seam allowance to secure the webbing well.
Now simply place the back piece on top of the front piece, aligning the edges, and stitch all around at 1 cm.
Just quickly iron the seams flat and it's done... what an eye-catcher, right?
P.S.: There are really no limits to your ideas; you can, for example, jazz up your fanny pack with an attached pocket.
