Patterns range from easy to advanced, so make sure to choose a pattern that matches your skill level. You can opt for a fanny pack that only has one pocket or multiple pockets depending on how big you want it to be.
1⁄4 yd (0. 23 m) of durable fabric, such as canvas, vinyl, or denim 42 in (110 cm) of webbing (for the belt) 1 buckle 1 zipper Double fold bias tape Thread that matches your fabric
Front panel Pocket panel Back panel Side panel Flap
1 front panel 1 pocket panel 1 back panel 2 side panels 2 flaps
To find the center of the 2 pieces, fold them in half so that the short edges are aligned. Then, mark the center line with chalk or fabric marker.
You can also topstitch along the zipper after attaching it to the front panel if you want a neater looking edge. However, if you’re trying to make the fanny pack as quickly as possible, you can skip it. [9] X Research source
If desired, you may also topstitch along the edge of this seam to make it look neater, but this is also optional. [13] X Research source
Make sure to remove the pins as you sew. Do not sew across a pin or you may damage your sewing machine.
For example, if you want the belt to extend to a maximum of 50 in (130 cm), then cut a strip that is 4 in (10 cm) longer or 38 in (97 cm) instead. Likewise, you can cut down on the maximum length if desired, by reducing the length of the longer strip. For example, if you want the belt to have a maximum length of 40 in (100 cm), then cut the longer strip 6 in (15 cm) shorter or 28 in (71 cm).
Imagine the webbing end is traveling up a hill and then coming back down on the opposite side.
This will secure the end of the webbing so it won’t slip out of the buckle when you adjust it.

Try it on and see how it looks! You can wear your favorite jeans and a cool graphic T-shirt for a trendy look. Tuck the T-shirt in the front and put a fanny pack where you put your belt. Then wear white sneakers. [26] X Research source Let everything be simple and let the fanny pack be the statement piece.
